Trending on Show HN and the traffic killed my landing page

I posted a link to the beta of my presentation SaaS sizle.io on ShowHN earlier and it was too much for my web server to handle :(

Great problem to have but definitely identified some areas of improvement in the hosting for the landing page, the app itself is of course running smoothly :)

    Huh, how many visits are you getting? And of course congrats on hitting HN front page :)

      Concurrently it was only in the hundreds, but the CDN for the landing page was not configured the way it should be, so it was completely my fault :)

    Congratulations on HN!

    It can drive some crazy traffic

    WP site will do that :)

    Also mobile is extremely slow https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsizle.io%2F&tab=mobile

    If you're looking for a better solution i'm working on https://versoly.com/ and would love your feedback )

      Thanks for the feedback, definitely not happy with the page speed scores at the moment and are working on improving them now :)
