Sometimes a small website runs normally on a basic VPS for years. Another project starts slowing down almost immediately, even though it still has relatively few visitors. The difference is usually not only in traffic. One website simply displays ready-made pages, while another constantly queries the database, updates the catalogue, performs searches, runs imports or processes files in the background. That is why choosing a VPS based only on the number of visits is not quite right. First, it is worth understanding what exactly will be running on the server and which operations will create the main load.
