McGlockenshire posted:Are those numbers in concurrent connections, concurrent users, or just some number pulled out of a hat? 500 concurrent users engaging in normal ecommerce activity is going to average out to a few requests a second, and if you're struggling to serve that on a CPU-heavy enough VPS with Wordpress then something has gone very wrong, especially if you're running it under PHP7. On the other hand, if you're expecting 500 concurrent connections, what are you doing hosting that kind of Wordpress site on only one VPS? Would agree with most of this, except for the recco on WP Super Cache. I've tried several caching plugins with WooCommerce and so far, all of them break it in some way. The way Woo injects HTML and other content into serialized arrays gets messed up something fierce by most auto-minify stuff, and that's just the start. In my situation where I'm in at HostGator (not my decision) I'd move up to the top tier of their VPS, which would quadruple my my RAM and double my cores and if that didn't work get into dedicated. But as McGlockenshire says you should identify where bottlenecks are occurring, which off the top of my head would be: - MySQL - RAM/Disc throughput - Processes/CPU - Bandwidth saturation You should have tools to check each of those. For a relatively light load like 500-1000 I'm not sure if I'd get into static pages and Cloudflare/proxy server stuff.

). Alternatively, see if it would be possible to direct as much incoming traffic as possible to regular plain old static HTML pages. I know there are static site generators for Wordpress, but I don't know that any of them work with woocommerce pages. Look at WP Super Cache if you have to.

melon cat posted:I see what you're saying. I've checked the YouTube iFrame API guide (I've read it from start to finish about 4 times, now) but it doesn't include any parameters relating to my modal window issue. And all solutions I've found online apply to people having modal window issues with their Bootstrap sites (mine isn't a Bootstrap). I hate to throw in the towel, but I'll probably just end up hyperlinking an image to the actual video source. Which is a drat shame, because it's going to pull visitors away from my site each time they click a link. Really? You can't see anything on that page that would allow you to pause the currently playing Video?

Look at me, I made a thing! https://github.com/wanderrful/membercount-scraper It's a worker bot that persistently scrapes a given steam group's main page, recording how many people are online and stores it into a database with a timestamp for analysis purposes. I made it so that I can figure out when the best times to host events might be. You can specify the steam group to monitor and how often to monitor it via environment variables. Used TypeScript, PostgreSQL (my first time ever doing anything database-related), and node-scrapy. Took me about 8 hours of effort. Hopefully one day I'll have enough stuff on my Github page to be able to get an interview and switch to the tech industry.

I made a open source game engine modification, and some dude governed over a retexturing project over the game. It happens that some textures where inverted by a mistake of the original developers. I was too concerned about that. He submitted a request to fix it, and I had no idea how to fix it, so he submitted the actual code, and I merged it wrong so it did not fixed the mistake, until he told me how to merge it. I wish I where better programmer, sometimes. Anyway this was the only time somebody had a actual feature request that deserve that name. My engine was experimental and I completely changed the look and feel of the particle engine many times, and sometimes people hate them, sometimes love these changes. I made lots of features for developers, that few or nobody used. I think when comes to open source usability and documentation is actually more important than features (for users). This was before Youtube was important, and before Github existed. So it was a different world. Tei fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Oct 26, 2017 |

The 500 - 1000 number was basically pulled out of a hat ostensibly based on past product launches, so I was rather concerned that the site couldn't handle that many people just visiting it; turns out it is almost definitely a MySQL issue because yeah, trying to have WooCommerce create that many sessions at once does not play nice with a single VPS. It's a situation where the site doesn't need to handle near that amount of stuff 99% of the time, just every once in a while, so hopefully my host has some options for scaling upwards during those times. To elaborate, WooCommerce creates a new wp_woocommerce_sessions row every time the 'Add to Cart' button is clicked, if it doesn't have one from the source already, so having hundreds of these trying to 'Add to Cart' at once does not work with my current setup. my bony fealty fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Oct 26, 2017 |

I'm assuming the "rush" hasn't hit yet, maybe clear out some existing transients? It might be that creating new sessions is slow because there are already a heckuva load of old sessions that haven't been cleared properly.

Creating a row in a table is a trivial event. Creating a thousand rows in a table in a few seconds is a non-trivial but still pretty small event. You may have misidentified your problem. Are you sure that it's the actual insert that's the problem, or is it the code running that leads to the insert that's the problem?

McGlockenshire posted:Creating a row in a table is a trivial event. Creating a thousand rows in a table in a few seconds is a non-trivial but still pretty small event. You may have misidentified your problem. Also, if you’re inserting data via a stored procedure (you should be), make sure you don’t have any crazy logic in there. Inserting a bunch of records in a table should take almost no time, but it’s quite possible the stored proc does a bunch of poorly optimized validation. Also if you’re working with databases you ought to read up on table / row locking. Generally speaking you can’t concurrently read from and write to a table. You can get around this with stuff like NOLOCK hints that lead to dirty reads, or SNAPSHOT ISOLATION which tells select statements to look at the state of the db at the last fully committed transaction, but there are caveats involved there too. In your example, this might mean that inserting rows into your table is being blocked by another unrelated operation that is also touching the table. This becomes a bigger problem as you scale.

If you expect a blogger to know front end dev, graphic design, ux design, marketing, and have around the clock availability, AND you want to only pay them $17/hr... you are only going to get candidates that are not good at any of those things. I get that it's really just a problem with a lovely job description and they just need someone to manage social media accounts and generate memes.

A bit stuck here with an attempt at a portfolio project and was hoping my problem is a common one you guys have run into when you were newer to this stuff. Hoping to get a bit of advice: I completed making the back-end for a simple "video game server browser" project. Problem is, I cannot find a "good" way to reliably communicate the results of a "get rows of server data from the database" function from the back-end to the front-end. Here are the relevant code bits:
I'm trying to think of how to go about this in a better way. This is my first project involving databases and every tutorial I've seen or done so far have revolved around the storing and manipulating of data... but never with actually querying and rendering the results for front-end display, which is what I'm trying to do here. I'm sure that I'm going about this in the absolute dumbest way possible.

One way to do this would be to have three components. 1. Server side, queries steam and stores the data in a database for caching 2. Server side, provides a REST api interface to the database 3. Front end, queries your api and displays the results to the user There is very likely a simpler way do to this, but this is how I would put it together.

React newbie here, playing around with the Bungie API as practice. App has a state called characters, which is passed as a prop to my CharacterList component: <CharacterList characters={this.state.characters}/> Now, when the character state gets updated, the CharacterList html doesn't render with the new information even though, it is correctly logging the updated prop in the console. I have a dummy button in App that just merely sets the character state to itself and voila, the html in CharacterList gets rendered. FWIW, here is what's getting logged. The first array is when character state gets updated naturally (but the html isn't rendered)), the second is when I hit my dummy button to set character state to itself and is correctly rendered.  I notice the 2nd array (3 objects) is slightly different than the 1st, even though the contents are the same.

E: I can't easily test it right now, but on this Codepen, a screen reader would happily announce "0, 1, 2, 3, etc", while ignoring the "Foo"/"Bar" down below. It just occurred to me that I can just change it from toggling which div is visible, to toggling which content element is displayed in the div. The only reason I didn't do that in the first place was that I was concerned about the cost of re-rendering everything, but that's not so big an issue anymore, is it? darthbob88 fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Nov 1, 2017 |

I think my data isn't getting to setState quickly enough. I looked up why the first array in the image is empty (but had values if I expanded) and it seems like logged data in console is "live" but not available at the time of console.log (also when setState is supposed to execute). It looks like I should read up on component life cycles before I continue.

When you expand it later and there are values you weren't expecting within, it's because that object was updated from the time it was logged - you end up viewing the "live" version of that object, not what it was at the time it was logged. A simple way to log a "snapshot" of an Object is to do something like console.log(Object.assign({}, someObj)); instead. That'll output what someObj looked like at the time the console.log() was executed. IAmKale fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Nov 1, 2017 |
