Possible to optimize script for blog/archives get/posts?
Posted: Tue Jan 14, 2014 11:43 pm
Hi,
I've had a s9y blog integrated into a client's website for roughly 6 years now, here:
http://www.gulfcoastmag.org/blog
Lately, the server it is hosted on is crashing and my admins claim it is due to "multiple apache/php connections for the account gulfcoas" -
(continuing):
"The log entry "GET/POST request for /blog/archives/" suggests that there were php access requests for the pages in directory blog/archives/ We recommend contacting your website developer and optimize the script so that the php requests for the site can be minimized."
I have in fact seen from running "top" at the shell that the entire server load some evenings is due to gulfcoas connections. We troubleshooted for a while a China traffic issue but it appears after firewalling all China traffic that was not the issue - the server loads still climb too high with gulfcoas connections and then it basically crashes (websites can't load).
I know with WordPress, I'm able to use "caching" to create a bunch of files that tremendously reduce server load and actual php processing etc.
Is there an equivalent/comparable approach for the s9y blog archives?
OR, does this analysis by my admins even make sense or sound familiar at all?
I'm not technical enough to really understand much more than what I asked, I tried to search the forums for info related to this but didn't find anything - I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place or if this info is out there somewhere obvious etc..
Thanks for your time and any advice/help!
