    I do not recommend increasing the MySQL connection as this actually can crash the server. If you minimize the connection amount the server can handle all connections and simply delays all additional connections. This may slow down the server and the response time, however it does not crash the server.

    I complete agree Thomas, I would never do this either.

    Instead, I would use the Super Cache plugin by Donncha to cache static HTML files. Would save a lot of mysql cpu usage using the static html files.

    Hi and thanks for the post. I will have to check the tips and see which ones I would actually do.

    Yes, I agree with #1 & #2. A lot of servers (specially the cheaper ones) may crash with too many connections, even can ban the customer using big resources. It’s tricky.

    Regards!

    Nope, increasing your MYSQL connections ain’t such a good idea.

    The discussion here reminds me about MySQL connection allowed by web hosts – in fact if you’re hosting your blog on a shared hosting, changing the connection to 250 is impossible as many of them limit the connection to 100 or less.

    Of course, there are bunch hosting companies that allow unlimited MySQL connection but we’all knew what does ‘unlimited’ means in hosting business, right? :)

    Regards, Jerry

    I totally agree with Thomas on the comment he made regarding increasing MySQL to 250. It could render you hopeless and trafficless while sleeping and not knowing about it.

    As Jonathan Dingman mentioned, caching is the best thing to prevent MySQL from wasting system resources. Naturally, if your blog sits on a dedicated server, then there is no problem at all.

    In the past (maybe a two years ago) I wasn’t using caching on my site (not WP) and average loading time got 2-3 times shorter after implementing the caching thing into the core.

    Even though it’s now hosted on a dedicated server, it’s still using caching.
