The server was able to handle a total of 1,322 requests. The users scale, starting with 1 concurrent user and increasing to 50 concurrent users by the end of the test. I’m using Loader to send an incremental amount of concurrent users to the server within a 60 second time period. The server I have set up for this series is a 1GB DigitalOcean Droplet running Ubuntu. This gives you a rough indication of the amount of traffic a server can handle, but also allows you to measure the performance gains once you’ve implemented the optimizations. However, it is possible to send a large amount of concurrent requests to a server and track the time of responses. It’s difficult to simulate real web traffic. I want to show you how this setup handles traffic prior to any caching. Initial Benchmarks: How Bad is WordPress Performance Without Caching? Caching will increase throughput (requests per second) and decrease response times (improve load times). In this chapter I will guide you through the process of caching a WordPress site. However, we need to do more if we want our sites to feel snappy. In the previous chapter, I walked you through the process of configuring Nginx to serve your WordPress sites over HTTPS on your Linux server.
