Elevating Your Software Product Engineering Journey with Vast Edge

Two Front-End Servers

WordPress delivers a good web interaction using two front-end servers such as server-side server and client-side server.

1
Server-side: Its key element is PHP scripts that run only on the server. It stores all posts, post data, user data and exchanges data with the server's PHP scripts via a special language called SQL.
2
Client-side server: Its key elements are HTML markup, images, other media files, and CSS styles. It ensures that the client gets a rendered version of the site i.e. suitable for human understanding. It also configures JavaScript which programs dynamic and interactive behavior into the browser.

Load Balancer

WordPress load balancer helps you improve concurrency by distributing network traffic to a pool of backend servers. To improve concurrency, it uses algorithms like round-robin or least connections.

Round-Robin: Here requests are distributed between the backend servers sequentially.

Least-Connections: Here new requests are sent to the backend server with the fewest current connections.
