How does too many requests make a server crash?
- by eSKay
I am wondering why websites crash at all.
If a server has too many requests, it
might queue up the request in its
waiting lists and serve it when all
the earlier requests have been served.
That means that the request for the
website will be taken care of,
although it may take some more time
than expected.
Then, how do websites crash due to server overload?
