Yes, everything is cached, in fact, I have turned the server so it performs very little read I/O, almost none from MySQL and all images etc are cached. One of my speed goals previously was to ensure the site has all its content in memory, hence the honker 🙂 * Yes, we use cPanel and until recently cPanel didn’t really support NGINX. The other reason is the business owner doesn’t want to use any software written in Russia and as you’ll know, NGINX falls into that category. Regardless there is probably, because I have plenty of RAM little difference between NGINX and Apache as I’m well aware of NGINX’s improved scalability from a RAM perspective. * Yes, there is a robots.txt file, however, the bots visiting we want to, other are excluded and also many bots ignore the robots.txt file. * Yes, bad bots are blocked. These aren’t bad bots generating the workload. * As a result of the way the site works and generally the server has low usage a CDM isn’t worth the additional hassle and site design to meet their requirements. * I think, and appreciate the response, that you’ve come at the problem as if this is about preventing bad bots. It’s not a bad bots issue. The bots we want to trawl the site. It’s the consequence of the immediate number of pages requested and users hitting the site. This is just a, how best to manage the additional workload, question at it’s heart, hence wondering if I show the PHP processing down a little, allow MySQL to get what it wants whenever, new requests, if needed will queue in PHP-FPM/Apache and the workload should flow through better. Is this practical?
