Not to defend Wordpress as I'm not particularly a fan, but it's not all that complex to use Wordpress/Apache behind nginx with a reasonable caching strategy. Even on a cheap VPS I've configured it to handle tens of thous

PDF links automatically get a scribd link generated - it is a separate link to view the PDF using scribd. Is there a browser remaining which does not competently handle PDFs without a plugin?
