The Charlie Hebdo website has been inundated with traffic since Wednesday’s fatal attack.
Its host reports more than a million and a half viewers clicked onto the site within the space of a few hours – a number it is not designed to cope with.
Millions have also taken to social media in solidarity with the victims of the shooting. At its height, the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie – “I am Charlie” – was tweeted 6,500 times per minute.
