The number of signatories to the petition demanding the British government to back out of the process of exit from the European Union more than three million sites on Friday.
With the signing of these signatures through the petition site of the government and parliament in Britain, the site collapsed suddenly on Thursday.
The signature rate is "the highest rate the site has ever seen," the petition committee said in a tweet on Twitter ahead of the crash.
At one point, the petition recorded about 2,000 signatures in one minute, according to the BBC.
Swift signatures have sparked controversy in the media and social networking, with some saying it may be behind robots or computer programs interfering with signatures.
The petition calls on the British government to revoke Article 50 of the EU treaty governing the process of exit from the Union, which effectively means canceling the exit procedures voted for by most Britons in the 2016 referendum.
But British Prime Minister Teresa Mae's spokesman said May had "repeatedly said she would not accept a veto of Article 50," seeing such a move as a failure of democracy in Britain.
Britain is expected to step out of the bloc on March 29, but European leaders agreed on Thursday to offer two options to the British prime minister, one to postpone until May 22 if the British parliament approves the exit agreement and the other until April 12 If the parliament rejects the agreement.
