Help: I need some apache optimization advice

[Snowman30]

We have a 2.4Ghz server with 2Gb of ram onboard that we are having troubles with.

The server contains one site which does around 600Gb a month of traffic and is runnign CPanel and has a 100Mbit connection

The server itself runs fine and 99% of the time, loads are low, however the website itself is very slow to get into.

I am assuming apache needs further tweaking

I currently have the following settings:

Timeout 300
KeepAlive Off
MaxKeepAliveRequests 50
KeepAliveTimeout 15
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
StartServers 5
MaxClients 300
MaxRequestsPerChild 0


Im wondering if this would be correct or if adjusting it would help?

any suggestions?

I would have suggested turning off KeepAlives, but you already have that. You could try increasing these to in tandem:

MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 10
StartServers 5

However, I doubt that would make a huge difference. Does this site use a MySQL backend? If so, you should enable a query cache which could help significantly:

No databases running just php and html pages.

I'll try playing around with the settings

Try:

MaxClients 100
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000
