Server Load

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Having just compiled some numbers about server load on the main Living Reviews web server, I might as well share them.

Taken together all services currently served, we’re up to 200,000 requests on an average day; that’s about 2.3 requests per second.

The majority of traffic (almost 75%) still goes to Living Reviews in Relativity. But the recently published World Atlas of Language Structures already accounts for almost 10% of all hits, which is about the traffic Living Reviews in Solar Physics sees. The remaining traffic is shared by Living Reviews in European Governance and Living Reviews in Landscape Research equally.

These numbers are basically derived from our web statistics data.

Are updates working?

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Lately we got around to do some analysis of requests for single publications over time (see article history). While once more we had to realize that web statistics are simply not a good measure of usage, some assumptions could still be corroborated.

Looking at the graph (user: webstats, password: HaveaLook) for the topic Characteristic Evolution and Matching, you can see that the latest update was received well; and effected a drop in the requests for the updated publications.
