-- Continuing to optimize my website and servers.
+Two of my blog posts were recently featured on Hacker News, lobste.rs, Financial
+Times roundup, Gemini BBS, and more places around the web.
+
+I gathered some metrics to see how my site handled it. Anecdotally, it didn't
+affect my home internet at all, regardless of the traffic.
+
+However, I have anonymous metrics visible in both Cloudflare and GoAccess on the
+web server, so I ran a summary to see what the traffic spike looked like.
+
+In the table below, note that Cloudflare counts all traffic, while GoAccess only
+counts traffic flowing through Nginx - which is primarily =cleberg.net=. Services
+under the =*.zerolabs.sh= subdomains don't flow through Nginx.
+
