@John – I do know from a few years of networking experience that there are similar server load peaks at the start of business and the end of business (with another peak during lunch). The pattern is very consistent throughout the majority of networks. As such, I’d assume that the “end-of-the-work-day” peak would be similar to the morning one – Maybe around 30%+/-, which leaves about 10% or so for the off peak periods (late at night, etc.)

Realistically, the peak period times also depend on where, geographically, you’re getting most of your traffic from. Essentially, the more geographically limited your market is, then the more “traffic peaks” your site is going to have. A bit wordy, but hope this answers your comment.

Cheers! :)

“80% of blog users visit blogs within work hours. Most blog users visit blogs at lunchtime (31%), or first thing in the morning (29%)”

I would assume that somewhere between 0-40% are just before they leave work? What’s your take on the remaining percentage?

Nice post, the 95% update issue I think is also a highlight. Nothing worse than building blog for a business and finding out they hardly use it.
