Is it true what he says about microcaching with nginx?

    Why not?

    Compare serving a static file cached in RAM (no real need to CPU) to generating a full page with sql query, php code and the like... It's way more easy to handle the first case, and nginx is very good at serving static files efficiently...

    If your traffic is mostly from logged in users, it won't work as good, but I don't see many cases where that would be the case...

    They obviously don't know LETters! 10$ vps is way too high end for LET!

    Nginx microcaching + add cloudflare full page caching or something similar.

    Add zend opcache for php code caching.

    Use Mariadb instead of Mysql.

    Add monit to monitor php-fpm and restart it , if it goes down.

    Ofcourse if using cloudflare , you wont be really stressing out the server for a page/file request after the first one.

  • on benchmark that vps maybe can handle that much traffic, since never used on real world none know what will happen when your visitor hit 40 M. just like another dd or speedtest

    Is it possible to use microcaching with apache with similar result?

    Apache? It can barely handle 10K requests on a low-end box...

    I have 1gb RAM, I don't know how good is that for this.

    honestly apache is shit but I use it too -.- :P
    nginx is way better than rest.

    40 million hits/day is pretty easy if i can do 237 million hits/day easily http://wordpress7.centminmod.com/74/wordpress-super-cache-benchmarks-blitz-io-load-test-237-million-hitsday/ :)

  • test my live blog (wordpress), just pure nginx php5-fpm :P

    424.60/second translates to about 36,685,440 hits/day.

    time to show off :)

  • All those benchmarks are under the assumption, that users arrive on your blog in a linear way. Reality is, that if you get linked on reddit and hackernews at the same time you are probably still fucked.

  • optimize your wordpress and get rid of bloating plugins probably helps much more than caching the shit out of it ... depends on your usecase though. (logged in, commenting visitors vs. non registered readers/bots etc.) maybe you don't reach one million hits afterwards, but hits are not visits, are they?

    This is just a marketing trick to get lots of hits.
