What can CPU and disk usage be at maximum, to handle visitors without causing slowness?

Posted on November 6, 2014

In Droplet>Graphs, there are disk write and read information such as 3MB/s, and there is CPU usage for sys and user such as %20.

What should these rates be at maximum, to handle visitors without causing slowness? Can you give some examples please?

I might get a lot of visitors soon and I want to be ready beforehand. My current droplet:

512 MB / 1 CPU 20 GB SSD Disk 1000 GB Transfer

I’m running Lamp stack on Ubuntu 14.04, using PHP and MySQL only.
