Surviving Slashdot

johnbuckman

The document discusses strategies for optimizing web server performance under heavy traffic, specifically using Apache. It suggests employing the 'expires' HTTP header for static graphics, switching to dedicated async-based servers for large files, and caching PHP pages as static HTML to significantly improve load times and efficiency. The effectiveness of these solutions is highlighted through benchmarking comparisons.
