Well what traffic data are you looking for?

All of it would be nice I'm sure Google has some interesting data, even if the volumes are incorrect. The stuff we are discussing here though is just volume, and CF and NodeBB likely have the best numbers. Most importantly, they have the only sources for accurate ones.

[mlnews]

There we go.... a full 12m!!

@mlnews said in First Numbers from CloudFlare:

US is the big traffic source, no surprise there. This map makes it hard to see where traffic comes from, but there it is.

So, what happened to Brisbane, Sydney and the entire nations of New Zealand, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu etc ?
...
(Just being difficult)

@mlnews said in First Numbers from CloudFlare:

Serbia gets talked about a lot, perhaps that has caused us to show up there enough to get a lot of traffic?

I'm pretty sure there is one person for the cause of that.

@mlnews Hi; I work for CloudFlare. Just wanted to share a few tips that might be able to help your performance:

1. HTTPS - By enabling HTTPS you can allow your users to access your site through HTTP/2 and SPDY, which dramatically improves page load speed. After this is enabled, you can configure HTTP/2 Server Push to get things to be even faster.
2. Page Rules - Page Rules allow you to use a "Cache Everything" setting where you can even cache static content.
3. On your server be sure to whitelist CloudFlare's IPs to make sure they're not rate limiting your connection to us.
4. Ensure correct cache headers are being sent to ensure the content you want to cache, is being cached by us.

Hope your enjoying our service so far! Let us know if you need any further help.

lol. How long has this been on @scottalanmiller todo list? It took us 2 years to get email, hopefully we can get this done faster?

We already have HTTPS here at ML, you just have to do it on purpose, it's not forced upon you.

[Dashrender]

But when I type HTTPS I get this.

[Alex Sage]

@Dashrender I am not happy until it is enabled by default, and I get a green lock

Probably because the images are hosted by imgur?

[Alex Sage]

@coliver That's my thought

Seems like the Rackspace CDN is the issue?

A green lock? Don't you only get Green locks for companies that pay for extended validation? I'm totally with Danielle on that one, no way I'd have Groove Social pay for a EV cert for this site. The free cert is plenty.

[Alex Sage]

@Dashrender Green Lock, ( https://i.imgur.com/PJdLmfc.png ) not Green Bar.....

Green bar is the EV ones... basically just a marketing scam.

[Alex Sage]

@coliver Right, but Green Lock just means everything is fine with the SSL Certificate.

Yep.

[Dashrender]

OK never heard of the green lock before.

is forced TLS a requirement of green lock? Seems unlikely.

We don't get a green lock because of the RS CDN you found.

But email was NOT on MY to do list. You never waited for me.
