CMS for high load?

Question

CMS

There is a site of 10-14k unique visitors per day. The site is made with static pages. In order to simplify the editing and administration of the resource, it is necessary to transfer it to a content management system. The main criterion is the speed of work, because the main content of the picture. How much will the load on the server increase? Now VPS is 1GHz / 1GB.

Answer 2

10k-14k is not so much in fact and it doesn’t matter what cms will be. It all depends on your knowledge. any CMS will slow down without configuring caches, and almost any CMS will cope with the load if you correctly configure the cache. There are a lot of cache options.
Choose the CMS that you are familiar with and that has a large community.

Answer 3

Textpattern, FP is faster than OOP
Jekyll CMS, all pages are generated static

Answer 4

If you know what nginx proxy_cache is, then it does not matter at all what CMS you will have.
Well, as mentioned above, 14K is a very small load. I support a site with 1M uniques, it works on a 8core / 8gb machine, la does not rise above 2-3 even at the peak. CMS is really self-written.
