TRAFFIC OVERLOAD CAUSING COCORIOKO NEWSPAPER WEBSITE TO CRASH OFTEN
——–‘Says Assistant Editor and I. T Specialist Yusufu Sesay
Traffic to the Cocorioko.net site has become so large that the website will continue to crash now and again, our Assistant Editor / Information Technology expert and technician, Mr. Yusufu Sesay warned today. The newspaper needs its own dedicated server, Yusufu Sesay warned.
The number of visitors to the Cocorioko website and the pages they visit have quadrupled and unless the newspaper has its own dedicated server, it will continue to crash, warned Mr. Sesay .
Mr. Yusufu Sesay is re-echoing the same thing that former I.T. specialist and website developer , Mr. Muckson Sesay, who also hosted many websites , including the Standard Times newspaper of Freetown and the David Tam-Mbayo -made-popular Star Radio with his famous program, Monologue, said many years ago.
According to the traffic statistics found in the web server log file, Cocorioko has the largest traffic of all Sierra Leone websites.
Mr. Sesay attributed the astronomical traffic to the fact that Cocorioko has become the best source of official news from Sierra Leone.
However much people criticize a website for promoting views that are contrary to their political beliefs, they however rush to the website because everybody wants to know what their government officials and functionaries and the opposition APC are doing.
Both Sierra Leone People’s Party ( SLPP ) fanatics and All People’s Congress ( APC ) partisans do not often support Cocorioko’s views these days, which is normal in a democracy with active political activism ; however , they find Cocorioko a useful website for monitoring the activities and agenda of their traditional rivals, the SLPP and the APC.
Many Sierra Leoneans supporting the President Maada Bio SLPP Government hate COCORIOKO for its caustic criticisms of the regime’s policies and misgovernance but they are among the favorite readers of the newspaper.
The generality of Sierra Leoneans love the paper for the consistency of its views and for its thorough news coverage , action pictures, videos and unique style of write-ups.
For the upteenth time, the Cocorioko website crashed yesterday and was offline for a few hours, prompting anxious calls all over the world from our readers .
Mr. Yusufu Sesay replaced Muckson Sesay had worked with the Publisher of Cocorioko, Leeroy Wilfred Kabs-Kanu for a long time. Muckson is now leading a university he established in Sierra Leone.
COCOCORIOKO commands an immeasurable crowd. IN ADDITION to the Cocorioko .net website, the paper has a very huge and strong presence in the social media .
COCORIOKO FORUM OF PATRIOTS at Facebook has 30, 000 straight readers and its Facebook COCORIOKO NEWSROOM LIVE forum having 34, 000 readers. Cocorioko’s Government International Media Network Forum that once promoted the outgone APC Government , has 15, 000 members while its REBRANDING SIERRA LEONE FORUM has 16, 000 people. The COCORIOKO SIERRA LEONE FORUM has 5, 000 followers.
As for WHATSAPP, the total of subscribers to the COCORIOKO FORUM and the various forums it has for the APC and Sierra Leone, is slightly over 9, 000.
With the internet newspaper website visited by thousands more readers daily, it means that over 500, 000 people from all over the world, including Sierra Leone, access our social media and newspaper newscasts, updates , Op/ eds and editorials in the social media daily, making the newspaper a household name in Sierra Leone and all over the world.
