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.

A decade ago I was on the front page and saw ~16k uniques/hour I think?

[BetterThanSober]

Yeah misconfig would also be my guess, too much cache miss

Wait really? I'm not really sure what to think and I posted before I saw this... I wonder why the limit is so low?
