Hi everyone,
I’m facing some performance issues on my VPS, and I could really use some advice. My VPS has 8 CPU cores, 16GB of RAM, and SSD storage, which I thought would be more than enough for my websites. However, during peak traffic times, the server slows down significantly, and sometimes even crashes.
Some details about my setup:
Should I be looking into vertical scaling (more CPU/RAM), or are there specific configurations I can tweak further? Would load balancing or clustering be overkill for a VPS at this level?
I’d appreciate any insights or recommendations, especially from those who’ve optimized a VPS for high traffic before.
Thanks in advance!

Some details about my setup:
- Traffic: Around 40k-50k daily visitors, with occasional spikes.
- Tech Stack: Apache, PHP 8.1, MySQL (MariaDB).
- Control Panel: WHM/cPanel.
- Caching: Using Cloudflare for CDN and caching, but it’s not solving the issue entirely.
- Adjusted Apache settings (like MaxClients and KeepAliveTimeout).
- Enabled PHP opcache and tweaked MySQL configurations for better performance.
- Set up Cloudflare caching rules to reduce load on the server.
