I'm curious: how many hits does the Metafilter front page get on an average day?

While you wait for Matt to answer, I think you'll find this related-topic answer to a similar question I asked not too long ago interesting.

The front page looks like it does about 1.5 million a month for non-logged in folks, tough to say how many logged in folks hit it now.

Since we're on the topic of server performance, this is new and cool:
page rendered in: 953 ms
(at the bottom of the front page).

For comparison, I was reading CraigsBlog from the guy who created Craigslist and he mentioned that they were seeing a total hit rate on all Craigslist sites of about 600 hits per second for a billion a month over the network.

That said, nice work MeFi!

Wouldn't that number depend on how many days' worth of posts you've got set in your preferences?

Aren't we all bots, at heart?

Bots have no hearts, and you being a doctor should know this!
