DARE.CO.UK · DAILY EDITORIAL · 2026-07-08

Tuesday pushed through the middle of the week with a quiet competence: 13.8k requests, page views up 16% day-on-day (3.4k), cache hit rate vaulting from 39% to 52% — the kind of mechanical win that suggests something recently shipped is actually holding. The homepage did its job (420 hits), /culture-means-thriving-teams/ cracked 30, and the botnet continued its futile archaeology of /wp-login.php and seven other corpses it refuses to believe are dead (173 404s across the usual suspects). Threats blocked dropped 40% versus the weekly average — either the bad actors are on holiday or they’ve finally given up, which is the same outcome with different motivations. Nothing broke. Origin stayed vertical. The site, in other words, worked like a site is supposed to work when nobody’s breaking it.
