If you noticed the site was a little slow over the last couple of days, this is why
Unsure if it was malicious or scraping, but it was incredibly aggressive, had to crank up security to stop it
Well.. after years of fighting with Bots scraping the site and slowing the site down, I have decided to pay for CloudFlare for the site.. should help performance for all going forward, and even more for V3 launching in the next couple of weeks!
Working on BeatStats V3, today I fixed the number 1, number 2 and number 3 reason people message me :) auto refresh for track changes or artist changes, auto refresh for any tracks in BP charts, and auto update for label images
I’m in the process of rewriting BeatStats, I wrote the code 7 years ago and it’s too slow and difficult to maintain.. today I rewrote the Chart generation script and reduced the speed it takes to generate all charts from 70 mins to 6 minutes! Launching v3 hopefully next month :)
What a year it’s been this year..after such a horrible 2 years I’ve managed to claw my way back up the @BeatStats ladder to the #1 spot in the trance artist section (over a 3 month period)!
Thanks to you all for buying my productions guys, it’s appreciated! 😌❤️🙏🙏 #beatstats
Made a few more updates to the site, New Genre Selector menu, and now all samples play on the site, instead of linking to Beatport.. more improvements / changes coming!
Just BeatStats over to a new server!, had to rewrite a chunk of the site as a result so let me know if you encounter yet any issues! Should be fine though!
Currently moving BeatStats over to the new BeatPort API.. Hype charts should be available soon!... which is one of the most requested features :).. also looks like audio previews will be back again!
#1 Dance Artist in the last 12 months & the last 3 months on @Beatport according to @BeatStats! 😁🙌🔥 Thanks for all the support :) can’t wait for all the new releases coming up soon 🕺🏻 #BreakThisHabit#TearItUp#Somebody 👀
I have noticed the site has been a bit slower than I would like it to be lately due to increasing traffic so I have doubled the CPU power on the server, hope that helps :)
