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.
