Now the site is stable and fast, and is ready for very high traffic. With World Cup Brazil coming up in 2014, the site will definitel… 6, 1, 3, 0 and 1769.14

Apache config for Worker MPM vs Prefork MPM

By on July 13, 2011 in Consulting, Web Server Performance Tuning, Wordpress

Changing to Worker MPM may allow your server to handle much higher traffic, more user sessions, with less RAM use. Your site or server will not scale well if it is running Prefork MPM.
