Coronavirus: Akamai is not worried about high internet traffic - Business Insider

Akamai's web traffic monitor that shows its networks are seeing 50% more web traffic than average.

Despite the extra web traffic, Akamai's CEO Tom Leighton told Business Insider that its systems are running normally. While Leighton noted that web traffic naturally grows year-over-year, the coronavirus pandemic is playing a role in this recent increase of web traffic. "I think we'll see more acceleration due to the fact that you have so many more people working from home and you have, kids out of school and spending more time at home," Leighton told Business Insider.

And it's more likely than not that the average internet user ends up on a company's site or service that uses Akamai. That portion of the internet that Akamai serves includes internet traffic from more than 2 dozen of the biggest banks in the US, almost all the major commerce sites, as well as big media companies, which use Akamai for things like live event streaming, over-the-top video streaming, online gaming and streaming, and software downloads.
