What needs to handle 2500 users online at once

[final kaoss]

Sorry snake but the points you've highlighted in red are null & void as per the results of a webpagetest & yslow report.

Also, cloudflare is a good choice for any site, as they help to serve content & thus reduce the amount of static requests that each page requires to load. It does not in anyway make site performance worse.

As you can see, the points you tried to argue against are not being done by his current setup, hence why I posted what I posted.

Also, vb4 supercharged is working fine for me regardless of how old it is, I still use it to this day and recommend it.
