MediaWiki Troubleshooting

From DreamHost

It's hard to imagine that our favorite Wiki would be subject to the problems of high usage, but it happens (although rarely, thankfully).

MediaWiki recommends trying out Memcached.

If MediaWiki is still using a lot of resources, it could be that your Wiki has become very popular. While our shared hosting servers are very good at handling quite a bit of traffic from our customers, there does come a point sometimes where a site will outgrow shared hosting and need to move onto the next step - a shiny new Dedicated server!
