Huge Traffic Surge: Good Feedback Opportunity

We had an enormous traffic surge today---thanks to a link to one of Jack's posts from the front page of Huffington Post. More than 18,000 people have been on Lawfare this morning, a fact which offers a great opportunity to get some feedback on our new hosting arrangement with Blue Water Media. I'd be interested in hearing from readers who were on the site this morning during the surge---which ended a few minutes ago when the link was removed. Was the site running at a reasonable speed?

We had an enormous traffic surge today---thanks to a link to one of Jack's posts from the front page of Huffington Post. More than 18,000 people have been on Lawfare this morning, a fact which offers a great opportunity to get some feedback on our new hosting arrangement with Blue Water Media. I'd be interested in hearing from readers who were on the site this morning during the surge---which ended a few minutes ago when the link was removed. Was the site running at a reasonable speed? Was it notably impaired by the sudden presence of more traffic than the site has ever before experienced in a day? Did anyone have any trouble accessing the site? Please email me with any comments on the site's performance this morning.
