speed paranoia
Posted: Wed 21. Jan 2004, 16:47
just one question. I know it might sound paranoic, but it's due.
I'm using phpwcms for one HUGE site, we're talking around 800 pages in five languages; it works allright, but since i write new stuff inside it takes more time to write new pages and even more to have them out when using the site. This site is for a huge festival and the last year had a whopping 120.000 hits-per-day in the festival days. I'm just wondering whether all the pages with all this huge database and all these visitors won't make the site horribly slow, since i've seen that pages get rendered in a unique time, meaning that both table and content appear at the same time.
Ok, if i'd be cool i'd be doing cms alone in postGres, but since i definitely love wcms i'd love to know your opinion on purpose...
...ps, oliver, a feature request: since there might be the chance that the server the site's into might crash or whatever, wouldn't it be nice to have a "backup the whole site (including content)" and "restore the site" option?....i'd personally love it...
thx in advance
