Hacker news doesn't generate much traffic, despite what people are saying.
The host here has a limit of 160000 files served each day. That is extremely low. If the site has an icon, css, a js file and a few images it's 10 files each visit. That's will limit it to 16k visits/day. If there are more files loaded it might just handle a few thousand visits, and they have received more than that from HN now.
Well, if every asset request hits the origin (no CDN, no caching...) that would be a misconfiguration of the website. It should never happen for a blog.
Yeah, it's hard to tell thb, just a guess. But potentially the site also misconfigured their server, causing too much cache misses and hitting the server direclty.
