Blog Views Spiking

Postby ItsSongxing » Sat Jun 29, 2019 10:37 pm

I was looking at my blog, and I noticed that all my first-page entries suddenly had thousands of views, seemingly out of nowhere. I would understand a Poll - even a joke one - receiving more views than normal; but as a writer, it's a milestone if one of my stories reaches that many views in such a short time, so why is just my first page of blog posts suddenly getting more traffic than ever?

DeadStrategicCactus also messaged me today, regarding how many views his blog had gotten. Noticeably, alongside his first-page blogs apparently gathering a lot of traffic, his second to oldest post is doing the best of all, surrounded by two posts on the same page doing significantly worse. This is what leads me to think people aren't just suddenly interested in reading every blog post.

I think this is something to look into. It could be a bug - maybe some wires got crossed, so to speak, so views on X work in the gallery increases Y blog's views - or maybe it's just the view counter itself messing up.

If it's the sign of a larger issue, though, it should be addressed immediately; even if everything's working fine server-side, it could be a client-side bot or program of some kind rapidly viewing blogs to increase strain on the servers.

Whatever it is, it should definitely be addressed ASAP.

No problem I will look into it. Doesn't look like there are any issue initially speaking.
