"HN doesn't make that much traffic"
Cite your sources, that claim sounds made up. Your inference that if somebody doesn't use a CDN or have acceptable load times for you, that they don't care about user experience, and so their opinion on self hosting is not worth listening to is absurd.
- jedberg 6y agoWell here is a link about someone who made the front page in January: https://nicklafferty.com/blog/what-happens-when-you-re-on-the-front-page-of-hacker-news/ https://nicklafferty.com/blog/what-happens-when-you-re-on-th... They said they got 18,000 hits in one day. That's a tiny amount of traffic for any decent static website (which this one that we are talking about is). Even assuming they got all that traffic in one hour, that's only 5 requests per second.
