The most significant factors affecting server load are peak user load, the editor to viewer ratio and total content.
- Peak user load is the maximum number of client browsers accessing Confluence simultaneously
- The editor to viewer ratio is how many users are performing updates to Confluence content versus making those only viewing content
- Total content is best measured by counting total spaces
Minimum Requirements
Under 25 Online Users
- 1GHz+ CPU Pentium 4 or equivalent
- 256MB RAM
25 Online Users Or More
- Dual 2.4GHz CPU Pentium Xeon or equivalent
- 512MB+ RAM
Example Hardware Setups
These are actual hardware specifications for non-clustered Confluence instances.

Notes
- It was not recorded whether the RAM refers to either total server memory or memory allocated to the JVM
- Total pages is not a major consideration for performance. For example, instances hosting 80K of pages can consume under 512 meg of memory
- Blank settings indicate that the information was not provided
- Always use an external database
