> The hosting company I was working with said at its peak 7,500 people were coming per second. Just ridiculous. There were two peaks — when people first heard about it and then when it was getting unstuck. There were at least 3 million people during the unstuck period. I got told by hosting company that the site got 70 million hits in total. I’m still getting between 1,000 and 2,000 people a day, even now.
I wonder what this would look like on a day and week scale network traffic graph, in Mbps
- Tenoke 6y agoI'm guessing a site like that is on the order of 1mb per visit so my guess would be within an order of magnitude of 100 TB total, 7.5gb/s at peak. Depends a lot on caching etc of course.
- tomjohnneill 6y agoIt was a static site cached on Vercel. Not including the map (which is an iframe) the site was less than 100kb.
- CodesInChaos 6y agoThe page appears to have 265kB first party content. 265kB * 7500/s = 2GB/s = 16Gbit/s
- mimac 6y agoI use the site to get to the ship tracking site as it's easier to remember. Also learned there is live ship tracking info available! Fascinating!
