Thankyou for posting that link.

I was not expecting a strong response to the post; I took no steps to handle additional traffic.

Experience is the key to performance, and this is the first time I've posted a noticable thread.

I've upped the number of Apache servers to four and increased the thread count per server to 32. Too late now, of course; but I'll know better in the unlikely event I should come again to post something of interest.

I have rewritten the blog, moving to an index-based layout, rather than the original single-page layout.

I've also moved the CSS link inline. There is no javascript, there are no cookies.

This has broken the link for this story. I added a redirect, but it does nothing. No errors, no logging, just... doesn't do anything. That's an experience I have to say I have had before, with Apache =-)

I've added a couple of words of explanation to the top of the index, and a link there to the blog post.

try using cloudflare, it's free and looks like is suitable for your needs. Also, for static websites, you can try using github pages/cloudflare pages- free hosting for static websites

For being named after an AWS product I thought it would have some better uptime!

I wouldn't want AWS to catch any flak because of me, well, not unless I'm writing about Redshift, in which case they get all flak that's appropriate :-)

AWS have nothing to do with this site, and certainly nothing to do with its hosting.
