This lecture occurred on Sunday July 22, 2007 from 10am-11am in San Francisco, CA at the Swedish American Hall.
The video is currently available on Viddler and as I get it uploaded to other places I’ll update this post. Keep in mind that you can leave tags and comments within the video embedded below by selecting the little icons that look like… well, comments and tags.
They strongly recommend wp-cache in this video, but do your homework before installing it. Didn’t work for me with 2.9.x, and I think the author stopped supporting it. This is an old video now, things have changed.
Also, the made-up benchmarks for a fresh install are not useful, IMO. Don’t assume you can serve a “Hello World” post with no comments from a shared account 1 million times in a day because of this video.
Great read…enjoyed the information and comments. Check out Video-ology.com for more videos and info.
I made it about half way through the video and I axcedently clicked it..lol
I seen the info about wp-cache, I’m going to add it to my wifes site see if it helps the page loads.
Thanks for the info, I’ll watch the other half later tonight
Some great information here, thanks a lot. To be honest I don’t think I’ll be having a problem with this kind of traffic! Wish I did though! I’m sure it is a nice problem to have to be fair :) Good luck with dealing with all that bandwidth though!
