Since I have been posting monthly reports about the volume and details of traffic that has been going through the website I felt that I would like to inform the regular readers that just yesterday the amount of traffic that this website has been receiving went through a dramatic increase. From my guess it would seem that the news of the Acromegalic giant Tanya Angus caused the website to get an huge surge in the amount of traffic it has been regularly getting.
It seems that news broke out to a lot of the major news stations in the US about the fact that Tanya Angus passed away on the 14th of Jan. and a lot of people picked up that news and wanted to find out more details about her.
I was informed about the news of her passing from TheTallestMan.com and managed to get the news out a least a few hours before some of the other major news and journalists reported it with “The Death Of Acromegalic Giant Tanya Angus”
This time however I am a lot more prepared for it than last time, where the traffic increased by over 14 fold, from only 100 total visitors to 1400 in one day. I wrote about this phenomena with the website in the post “Website Traffic Went Through The Roof, Into The Stratosphere And Increased By Over 1000%“. In seemed that at the time, which was a little over a month after the website was started and the post was “Tanya Angus Is Proof That Height Increase Is Possible After Epiphyseal Plate Ossification” which managed to get ranked on the first page of google.
This time the traffic went from around 900-950 total daily visitors to almost 2,950 total visitors yesterday, a 3 fold increase in traffic. As always, I take the data from the website tracking software Clicky.
As for other technical details, I wanted to inform the readers that I have noticed that the website has reach a level of slowness on its uploading and page transitions which is extremely slow. I had stated before that I would hire a dev to fix the website speed problem. I tried to go with another approach before buying the Thesis WordPress theme that has been touted by so many other internet celebrities but after trying to figure out CSS and how to program and edit the template of the Thesis theme, I decided that I would leave the website format the way it is for now. In conclusion, I decided not to change the front end of the website, but get a real technical expert to go into the back end and figure out why the database and queries are causing so much problem. All my issues were first informed to the website hosting service’s and it seems that this is the best option to increase the speed of the website at this time. It seems that the website is now been more expensive to operate/ run due to more technical issues that are appearing.
