Makers Circle server overview: 186 members online, most requests from logged-in members, and a day chart of members online peaking at 342 during an evening live session, well under the server's sized capacity

Members are logged in

Their pages skip the page cache.

Makers Circle member activity with 186 members online and the page cache bypassed: uncached requests such as the activity feed at 0.38 seconds, with 11 of 24 PHP workers busy; live-update checks moved from every 15 seconds (744 requests a minute) to every 60 seconds (186); and a database where 88 of 96 feed lookups come from memory and the growing activity, notification and message tables are indexed
Scroll sideways to see all of it.

  • Workers for the busiest hour

    Every logged-in page needs a PHP worker, so we size them for your peak.

  • Live updates, paced

    Feed, message and notification checks run at set intervals, not constantly.

  • Less work for the database

    Redis keeps profiles in memory, and busy tables get indexes and cleanup.

What gets cached

Community hosting FAQ

Before you move a live community.

Makers Circle scheduled jobs run by the server every minute: notification emails, the daily digest, membership renewals with one declined card, expired memberships, activity cleanup and video processing, next to an email queue that clears a burst of reply notifications in batches
Which community plugins can it run?
BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, bbPress, PeepSo, MemberPress and more. Send your list; we check it.
Are new posts lost during the move?
No. The final copy runs in an agreed quiet hour, just before the switch.
Do reply emails slow down posting?
Not once sending runs in a background queue through an email service.
Do renewals depend on site traffic?
No. Renewals, expiries and digests run on a server timer every minute.
How are bot sign-ups stopped?
The firewall limits repeated sign-ups and logins and blocks known bad sources.
Can we test a new plugin on a copy?
Yes, on a staging copy with outgoing email turned off.
