Introduction to Performance Analysis

Load testing and New Relic

One of the most effective ways to ensure that your site will have a successful launch is to load test it before you go live. Even after a site is live, performance tuning is an ongoing – often incremental – process. This session will cover some basic tips on how to tune your out-of-the-box Drupal site. Then we'll dive into to setting up a simple load test and reviewing New Relic to see what info we can garner.

The goal of this session is that you will leave with some useful tips all Drupal sites will benefit from, as well as an understanding of how to use New Relic to help identify and resolve performance issues.
