Hi Amelia,
This site isn’t running any caching plugins. We have a small FAQ on what the CUNY Academic Commons is running. Check it out here.
If you’re running CBOX on a shared host, you will probably see decreased performance especially as your site grows and gains more traffic and users.
There’s also a small blurb on the documentation page that says:
If you plan to have a large membership or are running a multi-site installation, you will probably not want to run CBOX on a shared host, as performance may be disappointing. A more robust host is more appropriate.
You might want to look into using a VPS or dedicated server instead of a shared host if you anticipate having a rather, large site.
Hope that helps!
