Hitting the Bottleneck

Any web master would be happy to have more and more visitors to their web site. However you can reach a point where the number of visits to your web site is becoming more than your web site can handle. This leaves you with two real options:

  • 1. Get a Faster Host
Increasing the specification of your hosting platform is often necessary if your site starts to get more visitors than it can really handle. However this is a complicated and often costly thing to do to a live web site.
  • 2. Improve the Performance of your Software
Often there are great gains to be had by simply giving your code an overhaul to trim away unnecessary processes and ensure that logical tasks are being done in the most efficient way. The performance gains can be astounding!

Efficient Database Queries

On modern database driven dynamic web sites, the usual culprit for slow load times is the database queries being performed to grab the information that will be displayed on the page. Badly formed database queries can quickly add up and pile on the waiting time for your page to load.
