No amount of HN popularity should bring down a static article, really.

it's wordpress, so technically not static, although if it was it wouldn't have this resource problem.
Don't cache plugins exist for WordPress? Or, barring that, wouldn't CloudFlare help?

Serving static files? It wouldn't even register.
