Pakistanis, expats, and basically everyone interested in the elections are searching for Imran Khan and PTI. Consequently, there is a massive amount of traffic directed towards the official website of the leading political party. As of now, PTI’s official website Insaf.pk is down. According to SimilarWeb, it was raking in almost 1M visitors a month and we believe, yesterday was the day, when its traffic peaked with hundreds of thousands of visitors in a single day.

The Insaf website was hosting an e-commerce store for buying merchandise, an official manifesto, and all the typical things a political party would have had hosted.
