At this rate? Not even close to a problem.
On a board like this, I'm hitting requests for static data only every 60 seconds or so. All static should be cached, and provided once.
A webserver from disk on average hardware can do well over 500 requests per second.
From Redis caching, or anything else, you can do hundreds of thousands per second.
There's not really a whole lot happening other than data transfer. Probably will hit a bandwidth limit before a high-load event. But if the underlying server is like some tower from the 2000s running in someone's closet, might get slightly delayed requests for a bit.
We're already at like 150ms for each request, which isn't good.
I do notice we get the full global.css every time, font-awesome every time, the captcha js every time the page loads new content.
No reason for this. At all. This is a code fix, but really if stuff was cached correctly it shouldn't even be that large of a hit.
So if they step up their game and improve the infrastructure items a big? It will stretch a long time. As it is now? Will stretch a medium time of growth (assuming an y=e^x-shaped line).
