title: Can joomla and jomsocial bear 200+ concurrent user's load?
body: <p>I have load tested basic jomsocial site (without external extensions) using JMeter for 200 concurrent users/threads.</p>
  
  <p><strong>That causes Database connection error.</strong></p>
  
  <p>We are already using jomsocial.
  Our site has 30,000+ members. During some specific time span, site gets traffic load.
  We observed that, site crashes for heavy traffic.</p>
  
  <p>We will be having more online users in the future.</p>
  
  <p>Few questions regarding the above scenario.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is it joomla/jomsocial issue? </li>
  <li>Are the joomla/jomsocial queries/code optimized?</li>
  <li>How can I avoid the crashing of website?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
