My wordpress is crashing the server

[Mutikasa]

Ive build wordpress site and sent some traffic to it, but the server is crashing. I don't think I send too much traffic. What can I do? I have 750MB ram VPS, with apache

You are not telling us what apache version you are using, what sql/php/apache optimization you have done. Are you using cache in order to deliver the content faster?

I would suggest you to:

1) Install cache in order to deliver faster the content you can use SQL cache also
2) Google a bit for optimization of apache/php and MySQL

For me your issue is with hug amount of IOs 1GB of ram is more that fine for wordpress site with ~1k visits /hour

If after those 2 steps your server is still crashing then I would suggest you to change provider. And I can recommend you www.webuzo.net offshore ssd vps no single issue, providing ssd vps servers . Another option is www.abelohost.com NL provider.

SSD VPS is way better that HDD VPS if you have IOs issues.

Also look at the plugins and widgets that you are running. Try disabling all of them and then check performance. If it loads ok, add the plugins back in one at a time until you see a problem.

yes of course, I have apache 2.2.16. Did i do any optimization? I am not sure, I have this for 3 years and can't remember. I have Wordpress Wp super cache plugin.
I have tested it with other simple pages and the server can handle pretty well. Just this wordpress is causing problems.

Since we know nothing about your configurations follow this link -> https://thethemefoundry.com/blog/optimize-apache-wordpress/

Switch to NGINX and let us know if you have any issue.
