@brennansv @atomicpoet @lacouvee I've been running the ActivityPub plugin on my WP site for a couple of months, you can follow @ryan to see how it looks (unless you are a teacher or involved in the Edtech space you'll probably not want to follow for long, lol!)

My only issue is that sometimes when I post on WP the load skyrockets on my blog. I have't looked into why that's happening yet.

@goz I believe the spike in load is due to all the servers getting pushes and then pulling data from your server. There needs to be some kind of CDN or cache that ActivityPub can use to smooth that out. But that could be the flaw. How would that be funded? @atomicpoet @lacouvee @ryan

Goz 🕹

@brennansv @atomicpoet @lacouvee @ryan That makes sense, but it seems like a huge load for only 33 followers.

It's not enough to make me not want to use the plugin though. 😁

@goz It takes a hit from every server which has a follower. WP runs on PHP and MySQL which are not the most optimal. You could put a caching proxy in front of it to quickly handle all GET requests. There are some resources you can read to fine tune performance. There may be some features of ActivityPub your install is not using that will help.
