If you can't handle traffic from reddit or a larger site, you configured static pages and caching incorrectly, or you run your site on a Raspberry Pi, I guess.

Pi behind cloudfront/flare and you caching sorted (as you say) and you'll handle pretty much anything. (well, maybe make that a Pi-4 8gb if you can get one)

Having your caching set up I correctly is verrryyy easy to do. There’s lots of things you can miss, and don’t realise until a whole lot of traffic hits you
