Please forgive me if this question has been already answered elsewhere. I am a sysadmin managing servers and I find that one of our clients is using SPIP CMS and it takes up lots of server resources. I would hate to dismiss the client for this issue.
Specifically, the problem ensues whenever his site is bombarded with hits from a search engine. When rapid fire requests are made to his site, the CPU and Memory usage rises to a very high level and has to be throttled. Throttling server resources at other times is not such a good idea. Is there something I can do to the configuration of SPIP so that it can « behave » normally ?
what version of SPIP is it? In any case you can add the security
screen that will throttle robots (and only them) when server load is
too high.
