Why is Your Designer Your Sysadmin Anyway? WordPress and Scaling
Thursday, June 25th, 2009I got an email about WordPress today. The summary: Wordpress, at least the public version, does not scale well. So, here I go…
I’m not sure it’s the ‘public’ version that doesn’t scale well. Some gripes with wordpress are really a LAMP stack gripe: Few complain about the L (Linux) and M (MySQL) parts of LAMP. But Apache can be a hog, and PHP has the same issues as any other interpreted language. Plus, no native db connection pooling (a downside of Apache MPM).
In benchmarks, WP out-of-the-box on an untuned server can serve an over 600,000 requests a day. I’d say that’s not bad for something that takes all of an hour to install.
If you want to scale beyond that, I don’t know of anything that can do so without effort. If you want over a million requests a day, you gotta pay someone who knows what they’re doing. (more on that later). секс сайты г нальчика
