Posted January 8 4 hours ago, Hero-of-Time said: Seems a little sluggish again. It was fine this morning but it has slowed down as the day has gone on. Also, the bar on the side that shows recent posts keeps disappearing. Seems to pop back up if you refresh the page. Yeah, I noticed this earlier today too - fine this morning, much slower as the day went on. It seems to be running a bit faster than it was now (?), but there's still a pretty noticeable half beat for me between opening up a thread and then it loading up.

Posted January 8 Maybe everyone needs to just be more of a morning person? I've not done anything yet as I'm away for a few days, but does seem to suggest it's a server thing (or at least out of our hands). Will try and keep an eye on what visitor numbers are like during slow and not slow times as that could potentially be an issue. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 17 Is the forum running sluggish for anyone else? It was happening yesterday evening as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I clicked the thread on that sidebar thing, and it took about 10 seconds for me to get here, so there you go. EDIT: And just to make sure, loaded ResetEra, and it was practically instant. Something's up. Edited May 17 by Glen-i Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20 I'd just like to say that I have also been experiencing this slowness on the website for the past few days. On two distinct PCs, as well as on mobile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20 I'd like to say that this is a very good website, and I appreciate all the work that goes on behind the scenes to keep it running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20 Shorty is swamped with work but has sent some suggestions which I've pencilled in to try in the morning. Thanks for waiting (too soon?) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23 Yeah, site is still dog slow... Hopefully Shorty can work some of his wizard magic and make it not broken again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23 Seems to be reasonable at times but it is certainly more slow than not most of the time. The suggestions Shorty sent needs to be done by him as it's backend stuff it turns out and he's busy with work. I'm trying to just do some general maintenance/spring cleaning in the hopes that'll provide an incremental improvement but I've been away for a few days and there's only so much I can do on my phone. Will try again on Saturday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 24 Trying to outsource this a bit by asking others to keep an eye on things. Was looking at my laptop earlier and it was fine and I very much doubt it's about device type but flagging it up in case someone else wants to verify. I'll do it myself tomorrow, but just in case anyone else is noticing a difference. Also just noticed we currently have 212 visitors online apparently and truthfully I never look at what that is typically like but wondering if that could be being detrimental (or at least not helping) so if anyone is experiencing it going slow mind have a look at the number (bottom of the forum listing) and letting me know? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's chugging a bit this morning. Currently 196 guests are on the site. How do people/bots even find this place? It's not as if we pop up on Google searches.

Posted May 25 It was running really quickly this morning around 6am so maybe it is a guest issue 🤷♂️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not as if we pop up on Google searches. You have to assume we're all bots until proven otherwise. I always put this place on questionnaires that ask where I get my gaming news. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4 (edited) I noticed it was running pretty badly again yesterday evening. I checked the guest amount at the time and the number was 400+. Edited June 4 by Hero-of-Time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 4 Just adding my personal findings, the recent slowness usually happens for me when there are 200+ users on the site. Occasionally, the site gets some spells when it becomes as fast as it used to, and I noticed that at those points the number of visitors is only around 120.

Posted June 6 So recently, I'm sure some of you have noticed people trying to embed tweets only to be met with it not working. Trying to copy the link directly will get you this. https://x.com/ThatBlueKecleon/status/1798807142734152153 Now the issue here is the stupid name change of Twitter to "X", so if you replace that with twitter, then it works. Now granted, it's not exactly a bug, the embed is working as intended, but is there any way it can be updated to account for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 7 Site is running like garbage again. 150 or so guests on at the moment so certainly a lower number than it has been recently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The visitor number was a theory more than anything else. But it's been difficult to figure out what the problem is as it's been inconsistent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
