WordPress Performance & Scalability

This document provides an overview of optimizing WordPress for performance and scalability. It discusses optimizing different layers of the stack including WordPress, MySQL, Memcache, PHP, the web server, and the network/operating system. The presentation recommends starting by optimizing WordPress, then MySQL, and moving down the stack to the web server (such as Apache, lighttpd, or nginx), and finally network/operating system optimizations like TCP buffers and kernel enhancements. Backup your site first before making any changes.
