I love it when Sarah is on MTV. Her comedic appearance after Britney’s performance at the VMA’s last Sunday night created lots of curiosity and controversy worldwide. These are the hits I got last week on her website that I run.
What a jump huh? As you can imagine my site was running slow on Monday and occasionally would load DNS error messages. However, the WP-Cache plugin I installed brought the speed and loading of my site all back to normal. Another problem was that Wordpress was trying to load all 700+ comments (and still growing) everytime someone tried to load that specific post. Luckily I found the paged comments plugin which helps by showing only a certain number of comments at a time and gives numbered pages for the rest. This saved a lot of loading time for readers and saved bandwidth use for me. So fellow bloggers, if one of your posts gets dugg, stumbled-upon, etc. or you just suddenly get wild traffic one day - I highly recommend these plugins to help bring your site back to normal. Now I’m curious how this new traffic is going to affect my Alexa rank at the next update.

Cool plugins. Thanks for sharing them.
Found you through blogrush..
I’ve been using the wp-cache plugin, but never thought about an excessive amount of comments causing problems. I’ll have to keep that plugin in mind, just in case.
I tried this plugin (WP-Cache) and it worked great at first but it started giving me error messages. I had to deactivate it, do you know what went wrong?
Hello,
Thanks for sharing this plugin. I will try it and watch that whether it will be worked or not.
SEO Submission, google for “WP super cache”. It is better.
Thought I’d check some of the archives here and spotted this post.
23,000 uniques in a day is a stat to be proud of. Is that the most you have ever had?
Hey TallFreak,
Thanks for sharing this useful link:

I am really in search of the solution of the problem that if the page have more comments, we can show some links one page and give numbered pages for the rest. As this saved a lot of loading time of users so he may take a visit of our site in future.
Yeah, and thanks for reinforcing the link SEO, nice one.
Hey dude,
You have cited very useful link. I also agree with u and SEO Company that it is good if we place comment on various number pages.
Tall, I really appreciate you. Thanks a lot.;)
those are some insane numbers. I couldn’t imagine getting 23000 unique visitors in a single day. Which web host do you use for that site?
