Sure. Well let's call it 1 million per day peaking at 100 req/sec... not many websites are steady state 24/7

But this is orders of magnitude below what a Google or Espn or Amazon do. But orders of magnitude over what 1 PHP server can do. (But oddly enough, within the realm of possibility for a good Java or Go or Rust server)

Nonsense.

I just ran a load test against WP yesterday and with a traffic load (from tsung cluster) peaking at 430 req/sec, it was easily served by 5 t2.micros running Varnish + WP (behind Apache no less) + memcached.

The load test included random search strings 50% of the time so half the tsung visitors were getting live service from Wordpress.
