Hey everyone,

I manage a high-traffic Drupal site, and lately, it’s been struggling with slow load times, especially during peak hours. I’ve enabled basic caching, but I’m not sure if I’ve optimized it the right way.

What are the must-do performance tweaks for Drupal under heavy load? Should I focus on:

  • Server configuration (PHP, MySQL, Varnish, etc.)?

  • Advanced caching strategies (Redis, Memcached, CDN)?

  • Database optimization (query tuning, indexing)?

Also, if anyone has experience with autoscaling setups for Drupal on cloud hosting, I’d love to hear what worked for you.

Thanks in advance—any advice could save me from a lot of headaches!
