We've started to notice that the wikis start to slow down on weekends when we hit our usage peaks. To help keep things snappy, I would like to add caching in front of our web server. However, this has one major downside: MediaWiki won't be able to keep track of how many pageviews each page actually gets. There's a sentence at the bottom of each page "This page has been accessed 1,304,179 times." That will no longer be accurate. This means the view count on [[Special:Statistics]] won't be updated as much (maybe 10% of our total views will be reflected there). What do you guys think, are these view counts that important? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 20:20, 3 May 2013 (UTC) | We've started to notice that the wikis start to slow down on weekends when we hit our usage peaks.

:For the sake of boosting performance, I wouldn't think it's that important at all, especially since we can edit a message on Special:Statistics saying that it's inaccurate due to this reason. If it can speed it up, I think it's worth it! {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 22:14, 3 May 2013 (UTC) |
