Why are high-traffic events dangerous?

High-traffic events pose a lot of problems for websites with a standard setup. This is because most sites, especially those on shared hosting plans, can only expect a few thousand visitors spread out over the course of a month.

Even if you get more monthly visitors, the traffic is typically spread out over time. For example, if you get 100,000 visitors a month, that works out to about 140 visitors per hour. As you can imagine, getting hundreds of visitors in a matter of minutes is a huge increase.

When this happens, your server has a high risk of crashing, as it’s probably not designed to handle so much traffic. Over the years, there have been many phrases coined to explain this phenomenon, ranging from “website crash” to “Slashdotted.” There’s even a Wikipedia page for it.
