> Haha, usually people use Google Analytics or something like that to know such info. Discourse dashboard has daily pageviews and user visits that can be used to approach that too.

True 🙂 We dropped that a long time ago.. We have about 250k pageviews/day (including bots), so 500 doesn’t seem to unusual. The user visits only tracks logged in visits, right?

Right - we do have to pass our requests through CF but we don’t let them touch our javascript etc.

> Bumping the `worker_processes` and `worker_connections` is safe and sounds like it makes sense in your case. We default `worker_processes` to your number of CPU cores. How many CPU cores do you have?

We have 12 cores, 64GB. Typical load is about 2, and we use 50% of our RAM.
