Put your blog on a separate domain blog.company.tld and throw it behind Cloudflare free tier or something. It's pretty amazing how many companies fail to do that, and a moderately viral blog post would bring down their whole damn site when it's the critical moment to convert customers.
Having this happen to a post bragging about infrastructure is just adding insult to injury.
Edit: As another comment mentioned, this site is actually behind Cloudflare, with cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC (i.e. caching is disabled). I don't know what to say...
- handrous 5y agoCF doesn't cache html by default. You have to add a page rule to do it. If your html being dynamically generated is most of your load (it probably is, even if it's not most of your bandwidth—serving plain files with Apache or Nginx or whatever is incredibly cheap, processor-wise) this means CF doesn't help much unless you tell it to.
