Throttle is a Wordpress implementation of a bandwidth limiting throttle. It provides the framework to monitor and report current site load to your site’s plugins or themes, allowing them to limit non-essential elements until load reduces. By doing this it can help to limit the effect of traffic peaks on your server’s performance.

Throttle is inspired by Drupal’s own throttling system although it shares no code & uses a different method for judging the level of load. However, if you have experience using the Drupal throttle to monitor and control your sites you should have no problem adapting to this version.

Installation & uage:

• Download Throttle plugin, and extract to a local folder.
• Upload Throttle folder in wp-content/plugins/ folder.
• Activate from the plugins page in your WordPress admin panel. You may also like to active included demo throttling plugins which are included:
• • Throttle:Redirect
• Go to the Options menu and click on the “Throttleâ€? tab to check if the default settings are correct for your installation.
• Let it do it’s thing. Throttle needs no maintenence.

Throttle:Redirect: This demo plugin demonstrates the ultimate response to site overloading, specifically redirecting traffic elsewhere. In this case the plugin uses Coral Cache CDN to serve the cached pages.

Because it is a last-stage bandwidth saving measure there are no options to configure. Throttle:Redirect simply waits until the throttle reaches Level 10 and then starts redirecting until the level reduces. Note that admin pages are safe from redirecting although there is (currently) no user-specific redirecting.
