High-Traffic

Server Performance Tuning for High Traffic When traffic grows, responses can slow or errors rise. Tuning works best when you plan in layers: web server and caching, data access, and the operating system. Start with a simple baseline and measure key numbers for 24 hours or more. First, establish goals. Common targets are a P95 response under a few hundred milliseconds, error rate below 1%, and steady CPU and I/O use. Use lightweight dashboards to watch CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, and cache hit rates. If any number drifts, you know where to look. ...
