That's the traffic after rate limiting controls and bot fight mode. It's 3-4 million requests per day without bot fight mode and just rate limits. And as I said it's not a smooth distribution. Plus the requests are almost never for pages in cache. It's always stuff like loading all the message threads from the year 2000 or loading up the details of every page edit ever made to a wiki page. If it was more static content it'd be easier, it's really the db being a bottle neck in a dynamic site. Yes, the software could be better optimized but then I'd have to own the development of it. There is no reason a niche website should be getting millions of requests per day. |
