A drop-in solution to achieve the same is using CloudFlare as CDN for your website. CloudFlare has a configurable "Always Online" mode that is automatically triggered whenever your site is down, that shows the user an offline version of the website, together with a warning message.
Obviously, if you're using CloudFlare in the first place, chances are that you won't have too many problems with high peaks of traffic anyway. But obviously, it can still happen, depending on how high the peak is :)

- 23david 13y agoNot exactly drop-in. With CloudFlare you need to be careful to configure it really well in the control panel settings. Also not always 100% compatible with all of your website's features. You may want to only use CloudFlare with your static site and turn off the proxy features for other subdomains. Ymmv.
- fduran 13y agoNote that besides all their indications, for CloudFlare "down" means returning some specific HTTP error codes, not that the server itself is down (as in "completely unresponsive" or not running), I was burnt by this and they actually changed the wording in their documents when I pointed it out.
