So it's 12:30am PT and 3:30am ET. thenewgreen is going to sleep. mk has been pulling all nighters working on a new grant...I hope he's asleep. forwardslash is trying to make the server stop borking. And I have 30 more minutes of rendering the video I'm editing (don't you fucking dare say the word avid).
And you took away my happy place.
So...let's give ya'll some data!
The server is on eastern time. Meaning it's 3:30am.
On June 11, 2015, we have had five times as many visitors as we had on June 9, 2015. And it's only been June 11 for THREE POINT FIVE HOURS!
In the time it took my to type that sentence, we had 70 new visitors and 240 actions (even though the sites probably barely chugging along right now.)
Da-na-na-na-na-na.... TO THE MOON!
(sidebar: why can't bitcoin prices do that again? I have like....a bunch left. Should I sell or keep waiting?)
Let's compare some little things to the last Thursday. Question? Are the tidderers sticking around for longer than a minute?
Last Thursday: 11 min 44s average visit duration
38% visits have bounced (left the website after one page)
5.8 actions (page views, downloads, outlinks and internal site searches) per visit
0.8s average generation time
Last 12 hours (we started getting big reddit stuff ~8 hours ago now?):
10 min 30s average visit duration
45% visits have bounced (left the website after one page)
8.2 actions (page views, downloads, outlinks and internal site searches) per visit
3.15s average generation time
Answer: Nope - their actually doing more, in about the same amount of time! Somehow! Even though it's taking (on average) 4x as long for the pages to load! Also, whoever hasn't closed Hubski for like a week...or is ctrl+f5 like a madman, you are a my new favorite (or least favorite) person:

@ 3:30am PT / 6:30am ET - The number of people who successfully loaded the last javascript on the page have doubled. No sign of slowing yet.
