How well can or does couchcms perform in heavy traffic?

[trendoman]

Should be fine even without cache and worry-free with cache enabled I haven't seen some huge traffic yet.

Thanks for the assurance.

No problem Don't take my word as a plan though

How many do you expect daily? Do you know/use any load testing tools?

Would you like to set up a sample page with some features on your server to test both CMS and server? How many pages do you estimate to load in CMS?

Did you prepare a list of features that can invalidate the cache? It often is set to bust after info is saved to database (counting page-hits with cms, voting, polls, comments, uploaded posts, user-registration, admin saving data in backend, search with cache off etc). Couch is better than many other CMSs, but every chicken needs a good recipy

Thanks again. Main reason why I asked in the first place is because I will be using a shared host and just want to make sure that the cms is not the cause of bottlenecks etc.

I am also deciding on cloud hosting and at the moment weighing my options due to budget constraints. However speed is my biggest priority and I think I will be opting for cloud hosting.

Any thoughts on thought?

Thanks once again. BTW, CouchCMS rocks!!!

Can't say anything here. No details about your project

CMS works fine even on cheapest hosting possible (2$ a year).
There are built in parameters for key tags, like cms:pages (and its derivatives) has count_only, ids_only, skip_custom_fields, limit, paginate. So, fine tune your listing and pay attention to details
