Hi,
I run a large eCommerce site based on ZenCart with traffic of around 5k hits a day, during peak events this rises to 30k+ with 700+ concurrent users.
My problem is during peaks the server load rises from 3 to 60 which causes the site to be unresponsive.
My server config is php 5.3, 5gb quadcore. Short of upgrading the server which is my next step,is there any optimisation I can make with Zen Cart, and is it designed to handle this amount of traffic. I'm considering using Nginx and a caching system, but is there anything else I can do?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
