On the pegged webserver that's preventing me from reading the article: First, really, just loadtest your webserver. It's not hard, try apache bench ("ab") as a starting point. Second, shut off unnecessary parts when they're being slow (like analytics), a database access for comments, etc. Load them asynchronously from JS (putting the CPU load on the client), and let the page render when you get back an error or timeout. Unless the primary content on the page is dynamic, the page should get to the client without any I/O except for the NIC.</li> <li>]</li> </ol> <h2>[WHERE]</h2> <ol> <li>]</li> </ol> <h2>[WHEN]</h2> <ol> <li>]</li> </ol> <h2>[EXAMPLE]</h2> <ol> <li>]</li> </ol> <h2>[HOW-TO]</h2> <ol> <li>]</li> </ol> <h2>[REFERENCE]</h2> <ol> <li>]</li> </ol> <h1 style="text-align: center;"> </h1>
