New record: no less than 580,000 Belgians searched for their earliest pension date

Over 580,000 Belgians visited mypension.be to check their earliest pension date, setting a new record. This was more than double the previous record of 240,000 in June. The surge in traffic caused some slowdowns on the site, acknowledged by the involved government agencies. The site recorded 581,534 unique visitors and over 610,000 logins, with peak traffic comparable to an entire day's worth in just one hour. The agencies apologized for the technical issues and are working on further optimizations. Currently, the situation is stable, though minor delays may still occur during peak times as technical teams monitor the site and aim for improved performance.
