Hi I am curious how well XOOPS can handle high traffic sites?

I am also interested in how many people are using XOOPS for their Christian site?

There is a not very old thread asking the same question as your first one.

I think the short answer was: quite well

dunno about Christian sites... not really into religion.

It can handle what ever your server and database can handle, according to what I read.

That goes without saying. Of course it matters about how much ram you have and what OS your using and what your line speed is.

But down to the wire what is the actual experience of the people using it.

There is such thing as bad scripts and good scripts.
There are some scripts that are poorly written and that take little to nothing before they consume a servers resources.

But with good programming a script can make the most of the resources available.

One thing I did note by reading the forum post elsewhere was that the caching feature would transform the pages into HTML which is static and runs faster that a dynamic page.
But I recall seeing on the main page of the site here that if your using that function you have to go in to prefs ever so often and clear the pages or something to increase performance.

It would be nice to know what specs and what performance are people actually getting. Like are you doing 1k hits a sec on a p4 linux with 1 gig ram running apache. Stuff like that is helpful to gauge performance.

Steve,

Maybe you should consider the option that the reason nobody can give you defined limits on the number of users etc, is because nobody has yet encountered such restrictions.

This in itself should be enough encouragement for you!

Regards,
Gareth

To give you a example there are sites, much larger the XOOPS site it self, and XOOPS carries 13207 members as I post this.

One of my sites has over 3000 active members and the specs are:

# Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz or higher
# 256 MB DDR RAM
# 40 GB hard drive
# 10 GB traffic/month

I find XOOPS is very efficient and never causes my server any strain, except one module which is Flash Chat (Tufat) but this is nothing to do with XOOPS it's self.

As for Christian sites I seen quiet a few although I can't name them all, I think one is:

http://www.regenerateweb.net

https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=166 (Don't think this one working now)

I've seen more but would require me to do some in depth searching.

Hope this is of help.
