3.2 million visits in 4 days
Posted by Sigurd on 6 September 2008
Interest in U.S. Politics set a new traffic record for a SilverStripe-powered website last week. DemConvention.com, the official website for the four day U.S. Democratic Party's National Convention, set some impressive stats:
- 3.2 million visits
- 2.6 billion hits
- 350,000 hours of streaming video served
The website runs on a number of Apache/Redhat Linux webservers. While PHP5 and MySQL underpin any SilverStripe website, the scalability is due primarily to the static file caching code we blogged about recently.

Given 'hits' is a loaded word which doesn't actually mean much in terms of content viewed can you share what the page views and unique browsers were? Any other standard web stats that you can share?
