Hello,
So we're about to launch our first Drupal website and I am worrying about it's sluggishness even though there's just two users testing the site. We're on Dreamhost private servers (if that's any help) and i already requested for a MySQL virtual private server (its a separate entity, i dont know why) and increase it's RAM. Other than that i haven't done any optimization as i don't have any previous experience with this realm of Drupal. So I would really like to learn about site optimization techniques. This can probably help me too for future Drupal projects that are only on shared hosting with very limited resources.
Thanks a lot and i hope you can point me to the right way of doing things.
