There is absolutely no justification for him to be running into these sort of issues at such an incredibly low load. Let's pretend he gets 50,000 hits per day (he says 50k per month but I don't know reqs/sec). Than's less than one per second. The $5/mo box over at DigitalOcean can handle 100 times that with the most poorly optimized PHP, Wordpress, and MySQL installation.

The problem is entirely due to a shitty host and/or grossly misconfigured server. No CMS should run into load issues at the microscopic traffic levels he's complaining about. He doesn't need Cloudflare, either.

So, yes, a static site would indeed perform better but to imply that he's actually reaching the limits of a simple CMS is absolutely ridiculous.
