Requests per second
Dan, thanks for providing the information about why Misplaced Pages slowed down. Can I ask you to explain something? I sort of know what requests per second means, but I'm still not certain. Can you translate it into other terms? For example, do you know how many pages on average are requested each day, or week? Or are pages and requests the same thing? SlimVirgin 04:23, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)
It's the number of request made to the servers, eg when you click a wikilink. That results in a page being returned, but as Misplaced Pages is a database that actually means a lot of work for the servers to put the page together and send it. The blue line on the graph is the requests handled by the Squids, which already have saved copies of pages in their memory - when they handle a request they don't load the other servers, as all the database querying has already been done to make the saved copy. Because when you're logged in you have your personal links across the top, your page requests have to go to the main servers and they make a new (personalised) page for you. Anon users tend to get Squid pages, so if there's something wrong with the main servers anon users often get better performance as they're only reaching the Squids. Dan100 08:01, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Hmmm . . . I'm sort of understanding this. Are the Squids the slaves? I don't understand why logged in users couldn't look at cached pages the same as anon users. And an anon who wants to edit a page: that request would have to go to the main servers, is that right? Because otherwise they might not be editing the most recent version? Thanks for educating me, by the way. Or trying to. If I don't get something, I can assure you it's not your fault. :-) SlimVirgin 00:47, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
