Server Load and getting down

  • Hello,

    I am facing some issues with my website, my website is hosted on dedicated server Xeon with 8GB of Ram.

    Our website is very large one having around 54k of posts and around 50k images in nextgen gallery and around 2000 tags.

    Recently we installed W3 Total Cache Plugin, I can see the pages are loading faster, but the issue is the server load still is on the higher side. I mean the average load is around 3-4% where as sometimes it get high upto 15-30% as a result of which server got halted and sites are not accessible.

    Its hosted with Wiredtree who provide full support, they have configured W3 Total Cache with Memcached and tunned my.cnf etc.

    But I am still facing issues as today the server got high load.

    Traffic to the website is not that high its around 2000 unique visitors and 13000 page views per day.

    Please suggest what to do, I have enabled Page, Database, Object Cache.

    no we are on PHP 5.3, at current everything seems to be fluent, we will soon adjust our coding and will re-enable page caching : disk enhanced I hope it will have some good impact.

    Just want to update everyone, i just switched to FastCGI. So far its quite impressive pages loading fast and low cpu usage, whereas memory usage increased a bit but that is understandable with FastCGI, i will soon install eaccelerator as it can help increasing the speed even more.

    Bruce,

    We have adjust the code and i have enabled w3tc once again, but unfortunately W3TC doesn’t support eAccelerator v0.9.6.1, so how about using disk as caching method for all?

    Please suggest.
