Drupal Performance for Institutional Sites: The Operational Discipline That Holds
Drupal performance for institutional sites is a layered discipline: caching at multiple tiers, database hygiene, asset optimization, CDN delivery, and ongoing measurement. This is the operational pattern that produces sustained performance for public-sector Drupal.
