Hello, I need some advice’s from you guys on how best to optimize my VPS with DO using WordPress and serving to 1.8m - 2.2m page-views. Here are some background Google Analytics stats at this time: 15 October Stats: Daily Unique: 12,000 users Daily Sessions: 18,000 Page-views: 62,000 Usually site gets abt 100-120 page-views per minute
Question 1: Now, I am thinking to start with 1GB Droplet, and scale it as I need… What do you think?
Question 2: After reading all articles and comment, I decided that the site would perform best using these spec:
Ubuntu 12.04 + Nginx + MariaDB + PHP-FPM + Varnish + Memcached + SWAP + W3 Total Catch Should Varnish + Memcached + SWAP + W3 all work good together? What about FastCGI ?
Question3: Should I follow the tutorial to create a Layer 4 or layer 7 for such a Website to handle the traffic or not ? Or only Load Balancing with HAProxy?
Looking forward to receive your answers and suggestions, Thank you in advance, MExpert
