Forum Speed Issues

[Grant]

All,

We are aware of some speed issues affecting the forum for some users at present. We are investigating and will post updates here as we have them.

Thanks,

Grant

Some tweaks were made to the server earlier and things seem to have improved for me - anybody else still having issues?

[The Admiral]

Thanks Grant, that seems to be a lot better. I can now use my tablet!

Ian

Yep, much, much better (for me the site had just about stopped loading...) - Thanks Grant

Grant,

Whatever you have done has made page loading a lot faster tested on ie11 and Edge great job done

Andy

[Mr Spock]

Working much better here. Yesterday was painful!

[johnfosteruk]

Struggling here still. This page took about 40s to load.

[Ibbo!]

Varible results for me with firefox, some pages load quickly some fail after a couple of minutes.

Things were going well last night - up to a point, when the entire site was unavailable. Now back, but more painfully slow than ever.

No problems until today. This morning, on smartphone with Firefox, the page load time reminded me of dial-up connection era.

How is solar activity these days?

Very slow with laptop/win10 and chrome, took 5 mins to load site and get to this page.

Seems faster to me now?

[wxsatuser]

Took to goes to load front page just now.

 

[GavStar]

It’s also suddenly and massively slowed down for me on my iPhone this morning whereas previously including yesterday it was absolutely fine.

[Oddsocks]

Even worse this morning Grant.

Unable to load any page on iMac from home fast fibre, takes around four minutes to load on an iPad if Safari doesn’t give up and time out first.

Mine has just improved and is now back to normal speeds ?

[iPeace]

Much better now. Whatever was being fiddled with, no touch!

[spillage]

Just had issue with messages opening up very slowly, both with loading the index and the individual messages.

Running win7, chrome. Sorry not at home so cannot check on my linux box to check.

Started to have issues last night. Couldn't load up at all. Then came back on and this morning couldn't load the homepage at all. So intermittent. Got this message last night when issues started.

Had the same, but as said, much better now.

[wookie1965]

Much improved now not got the dreaded circle of doom loading a page.

 

[Stormbringer]

It seems to take ages to get onto site taking 2-3 goes after getting timeout message then goes fast then slows right down again

Also got the forbidden message last night as well

Using Windows 10 and Chrome

[Grant]

Performance should be ok now - please only let me know if you experience issues from this point forwards.
