As you may have heard we recently released information that WhereYouEat will be developing Version 3.0 of the website. This version will be a much more Stable and Secure loading website and include some user interface upgrades and featres.
After the traffic to the website grew, we began to experience many server hosting problems. The problems vary from not being able to access the website, menus and photos not loading up properly and other various issues which happens at times during busy hours.
(Please note that if you do experience this problem, it’s usually back up smooth within a few seconds so please press F5 to refresh the page after about 10 seconds or so).
This is happening because many users from a small local area are accessing the website at the same time and putting too much stress on our servers. We haven’t expected this much traffic at version 2.0 development, currently we are receiving 24k unique visitors per month and most of the stress happens during 4pm – 6pm.
Version 3.0 is being developed with a new platform coding language which will allow us to find more compatible serving (Cloud Hosting) which will spread our website through multiple servers and allow for a much better, smoother and stable browsing experience.
-> Hopefully the website will be live somewhere in September, but we do not want to make any promises as we know how many problems arise building a custom web app.
Now for some small restaurant news:
-> Restaurant Reviews (Critic) are currently on hold.
-> Cangiano’s (Which was a neighborhood supermarket from 1970’s) has shut it’s doors.
-> Cheeburger Cheeburger is coming to South Shore Staten Island and will be opening it’s doors July 12.
