Twitter failed to access the home page for one hour on Friday

On July 15, October 8, Beijing time, Twitter suffered a crash on Friday and its home page could not be opened within about one hour.

Shawn White, vice president of operation of Keynote Systems, an Internet and mobile network performance monitoring company, said that Twitter website downtime started at midnight, US east time, until 01:15 or a.m.

"This is a very serious fault," said White. After the Twitter website resumes normal, the loading time is extended from 2 to 3 seconds to 30 seconds. He pointed out that while Twitter was down at midnight on the East Coast of the United States, at on the West Coast, many users could not access twitter during peak hours.

A Twitter spokesman sent an email to the media last Saturday saying: "Some Problems Occurred on our website last night, but these problems have been quickly solved ." The spokesman did not explain whether the crash was caused by technical reasons or by high traffic.
