Emptying the trash did it. Thank you.

Ah, still working away at this one. So next step after some testing is we are changing our server config on Rackspace from Ubuntu to Redhat.

That is interesting. Let me know if you come across anything.

Thanks.

I’m using Loadimpact.com. I can

Server is 40 GB of Disk Space, 1024 RAM, with a load balancer so a duplicate server to share the load. Plus the DB’s are on their own server as well.

I can share the results, see below. Testing is on my rackspace server, and is the same website you would see if I switched over our main domain name to this IP.

1. Test with theme TwentyTen as if you set it up for the first time.

2. Test with no plugins, using my existing site seen here: https://50.56.52.252/

3. Test with all plugins installed, using my existing site here: https://50.56.52.252/

So I created a new wordpress site and left it with the TwentyTen theme, ran the same Load Test, and it crapped out at the same point, 60 clients or users. So this is now really confusing me about where to look, or even if this Load tester is even accurate.

I did notice that the table for wp_postmeta is almost at 6000 records. That sounds like alot?

Unfortunately, I can’t get accurate test loading by switching over the domain name. But I have been load testing using loadimpact.com. I have removed the RSS Feed in one of my tests and it still crashed at about 75 concurrent users.

I believe it was memcache that they used on the server.

I did have an rss feed on the homepage, using the plugin continuous rss scrolling. But no where else on the website.

I have been load testing this new wordpress website and it continues to bring down my site, even on a new server. I’ve removed every plugin, a facebook iframe module, installed on a new server at Rackspace, had them install Total Cache, and it’s still not working right. I just have no idea what it could be. Any further recommendations or things to try?

Thanks.

Yes, custom posts. I discarded the W3TC and added in the Super Cache. Hopefully this will help out. I’ve found a few load test sites to try and mimic the traffic, do you have any you could recommend or know of?

Ok, thanks. I’m actually using W3 Total Cache, not Super Cache…and it’s only the Portfolio posts that get broken when I ‘activate’ W3 Total Cache. All other pages and redirects work fine. Strange.

25 total. It’s a redirection plugin. So maybe this plugin has a conflict with the cache plugin I was trying to use? Thanks for your help. I’ll try anything to get this load down.

I’m using a Redirect plugin because we have so many of them.

Thanks for the feedback. I installed the Super Cache plugin above, but it broke all my redirects that I was using. I am also only seeing about 700-1200 visits a day for this website. Is that considered high traffic volume?
