[FONT=Verdana]The graphs below represent the last 30 days of soundforums.net on the web. The upper graph is the number of pages viewed, and the lower graph is the amount of data served. I have placed the word “transition” to show the weekend where we switched to the new server platform.[/FONT]

We have been able to serve 7x more page views than before with about a 1.5x increase in the physical amount of data delivered.

What you see from the graphs is a few things:[LIST=1]
[*]Faster site response matters. [I]People use the site a lot more when it responds quickly[/I].
[*]Caching works. Everything your browser stores from past visits is one less thing to download.
[*]Compression works. By using compression on the outgoing data, we reduce the bandwidth for each page.
