Introduction

I tout the fact that you should be looking for high-frequency CPU instances for heavy WordPress or WooCommerce-related workloads. However, does high-frequency = processor frequency? How can you find your server’s processor type, frequency, microprocessor, and micro-architecture?

Granted, if you have a brochure site, chances are the workload is primarily logging into the WordPress admin and making changes a handful of times a year. This workload wouldn’t be considered heavy or abnormal and would be regarded.
