      It has nothing to do with a sysadmin. It’s impossible for a given request to require zero processing power. Therefore there will always be an upper limit to how many get requests can be handled, even if it’s a small amount of processing power per request.

      For a business it’s probably not a big deal, but if it’s a self hosted site it quickly can become a problem.

        Caches can be configured locally to use near-zero processing power. Or moved to the last mile to use zero processing power (by your hardware)

            Right, thats why I said you should fire your sysadmin if they aren’t caching or can’t manage to get the cache down to zero load for static content served to simple GET requests
