How many queries are too many?

Question

I have to run one time 10 mysql queries for one person in one page. Is it very bad? I have quite good hosting, but still, can it break or something? Thank you very much.

Answer 1

It depends on how much CPU cycles will the sum of the queries use.

1 query can consume way more CPU cycles than 100. It all depends on their contents.

You could begin by optimizing them following this guide: http://beginner-sql-tutorial.com/sql-query-tuning.htm
