The much awaited virtual show dubbed Sarkodie’s Black Love Concert crashed its host website on the evening of 16th August 2019, with overwhelming views, only a few minutes after the show started to stream.
Ceek, the platform that was steaming the pre-recorded concert on its pay to view portal, had its website crashed due to overwhelming traffic of people who were watching the concert from all corners of the world. The only information that displayed on the screen a few minutes later, read "Error 520 Ray ID: 5c3dae34bfb306f5 • 2020-08-16 19:49:46 UTC Web server is returning an unknown error".
Nonetheless, the operations team swiftly offered an apology to the over 1.5 million viewers and promised to fix the mechanical issue.
"#SarkNation shut the web down. Due to overwhelming traffic, we are having some technical issues. Please standby we are working to resolve this. 1.5 million at once with more coming." Ceek twitted.
The hosting company further added that their technical team was working to resolve the technical problem. A screenshot posted on Ceek’s verified twitter page showed that there were 1,335,096 viewers from Ghana, 175535 from the United States. 47,865 from the United Kingdom, 38419 from Spain, and 30697 viewers from Germany.
