• Hello,

    I have to deal with 150 pageviews / day WP site.

    Server load balances from 0.8 up to 6.00 up to 11.00 up to server freeze – especially in the evenings during weekends.

    Right now I am thinking about re-writing everything using a PHP framework like Symfony, Prado or Kohana.

    BTW: Static content is served by an offload server. No cache-ing mechanism installed, except query cache in MySQL. Theme code is very optimized with neat tricks.

    Q: Do you think that re-writing wordpress into my own script will be fine for improving performance?

    Sure, if you are that PHP Wiley-Coyote-Suuuuper-Genius we’ve all been looking for! ??

    In the meanwhile, give WordPress 2.8.5 with a caching plugin a look. If your CPU dials up to 11 and you are running 2.8.4 then you might be hitting that bug with the wp-trackback.php DoS.

    150 pageviews a day is not much so I suspect something else is going on.

    Sorry, epic misspell – I meant 150 000 pageviews…
    I changed the name of wp-trackback.php. It’s like it doesn’t exist anymore
