Southern Aminos Potentially Crashed Their Own Website
-
@beekind Nobody calls it that anymore. You have to look for it by whatever their vendor code is. I think it was MTT-31 or something like that.
@ResearchCat ok, give me another 20 minutes I'll get back to you, somehow the site is still working for me.

Their 60mg reta is out of stock

@ResearchCat MTT-31 10mg - $41.40 before affiliate discount - it also says limited inventory.

During major promotional events such as our 60% off sales and Flash Drops, website traffic can increase dramatically within a very short period of time. During Flash Drops, certain products may be reduced to as little as $5, so it is understandable that thousands of customers may attempt to browse, add items to their carts, and check out at nearly the same time.
Southern Aminos has invested heavily in its website infrastructure specifically to handle this type of demand. We operate on a high-performance standalone server environment costing more than $6,000 per month, in addition to substantial investments in CDN services, edge caching, optimization, security, and other performance systems.
Even with that level of infrastructure, an extreme surge of customers hitting the website simultaneously can temporarily overwhelm even very powerful systems. This can result in slower page loads, delayed cart updates, checkout delays, or products selling out while a customer is attempting to complete an order.
This is not the result of us failing to prepare for our sales. In fact, we continually invest in significantly more infrastructure than a typical online store would require. The reality is that when promotions attract an exceptionally large number of customers all at once, no website can guarantee completely uninterrupted performance under every possible traffic spike.
We understand how frustrating this can be, especially during a limited-time Flash Drop, and we continuously review each major event to improve capacity and performance for the next one.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding during these unusually high-traffic events.

504 error codes yesterday for door 4. All 5 of us couldn't access the page. This am for door 5 the page wouldn't load, then I've traffic died down..."signal is aborted without reason" on the doors section.
What a mess on their end. I'm really hoping they make it right for us.

@SouthernAminos Just an observation. You have one of the slower sites we have to contend with when updating pricing. Manually accessing your site I've waited upwards of 30 seconds for everything to load. Whoever is doing your site is raking you over the coals for sub par infrastructure. We pay 1/10 of what you do with 6x the traffic on any given day.

I wonder if part of the issue is that they sent out an email saying they were having flash drops today and tomorrow and some sort of 13 door promotion that requires frequent logins if someone is interested in winning.

@rusty319 It could also be that they load every WordPress plugin they have installed on every page and make the browser download over a megabyte of JS to run locally.
WordPress itself is half the problem; how it's set up is the rest of it.
