New Years Traffic
Posted by Jason Dunn in "UPDATE" @ 05:31 PM
I promised a quick post about what happened when 1000's of you slammed our servers on New Years Eve and New Years Day, so here's the stats:
• 19.69 GB of bandwidth consumed (average is about 6 GB per day)*
• 38,021 user sessions
• 1.09 million page views (average is about 300K per day)
• 3.9 million hits
• Apache/MySQL restarts: 15 times that I have on record, but I was only added to the "restart alias" at noon on the 1st, so it's probably more like 30 times. :lol:
A good time was had by all - we'll definitely do it again next year, but we'll put some more thought into it before hand to make sure everything is fair, and unfortunately we'll have to add some rules so people understand this is just for fun. :D
*As a side note, bandwidth consumed on the 2nd and 3rd of January was insanely high as well, topping 13 GB per day. I think everyone was coming back to see if they won the prizes. ;-)
