Hi hivepress team , Hope you are doing great !

I have a site which is expected to grow in the number of listings to 10K - 12K. in the coming months. I want to create a smooth experience for users visiting my site . These are my server specs below:

32GB RAM, 8 v CPU, cyberpanel enabled litespeed with Quic CLoud CDN and CLoudflare in front for DDOS and Security. I have set up redis for object cache and planning to use elastic search to make search and filter operations smooth.

I want expert opinion on this matter as how many concurrent users can be handled with these specs and how much traffic overall can it handle everyday. As I am explecting a million a month due to our huge social media following and meta/google ads.

I request @variation to share some expertise as he also manages more than 50 K listings. @variation I would like to connect with you on email , please share with me your email ID or anything social ID, I can connect with you or Please connect with me on rexamvbeats@gmail.com as I have some specific queries related to automations for managing huge number of listings.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the details. Unfortunately, it’s hard to predict the performance as there are many aspects, the best way is testing it using tools like Siege for example GitHub - JoeDog/siege: Siege is an http load tester and benchmarking utility At the very least, please make sure that you use a VPS instead of shared hosting, but based on the description you’re familiar with the server setup.

If you use caching, then non-logged-in users will be served with static HTML so the main issues are with the search performance (depends on the number of listings and search filters, also extensions you have installed) and dynamic content/functionality for logged-in users.

Hope this helps
