Programming for the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC)

I have performed several tasks for RCTC over the last two years updating and creating content, not only for their main website, but for the various construction and project proposal websites as well. This article only highlights a few.

NOTE: Geographics company did not create the latest version of the RCTC main website. They still do a great deal of work for them, but for the website, they decided to go another way.

Alleviating Some of the Crap Thats Slowing Down Your Server at the Source

Several months ago I started receiving the occasional alert email in the middle of the night warning that my server was hitting a threshold. Reviewing the server logs I found the usual suspects. Hits to Wordpress; admin-ajax, wp-login.php, xmlrpc.php... But also, there were a ton of hits from a web crawler that was hitting the same content over and over and over. There are plugins available to cache websites and throttle repeat content, but a hit to the CMS is still a hit and will require PHP, several image requests, file requests and more than a few hits to the database.
