Was the VPT site not working for you, so you had to resort to archive.org? Original link https://vptdigital.com/blog/honey-detecting-testers/ . Anyone having trouble -- contact Ben Edelman (easily found by web search) and I will genuinely value the opportunity to get to the bottom of what is wrong.

Yup, was just dead for me and stayed dead, so I went and grabbed an archived link.

Don’t recall precisely how it was dead, but I assumed via traffic.

I think I saw a 5xx error when I tried to see the original link. I assumed it might have been due to a hug of death.

It seems to be loading fine now.

Your diagnosis is correct. VPT has been most focused on building our testing automation, then improving reports and dashboards. We knew this spike of traffic was coming, but we didn't finish sufficient WordPress optimizations. Apologies.

No worries. A hug of death is a good problem to have.
