Looks like the forum lagging a little this morning.

Here too. Not getting a response right away on the initial connection setup. After connecting it seems the same.

No issues with other regular sites.

The site is really lagging today

Not just slow.  Links are disappearing as the advertisements find their places.  I'm wondering if this slowdown is related to the ad engine.

I noticed a 5 to 10 second delay on various page loads this morning. Similar to the last two days. Not 100% consistent though.

Probably Corona virus. 

Slowdowns seem to be pretty common for me, typically more often in the morning.

The site was down with DNS error most of the day for me also. Also, not the first time. 

OK, so DNS resolution for the site was gone most of the afternoon, and so was the site. Much more responsive now.

Do I detect a fix?

Hmmm. No update from the Powers?

Yup still running slow,  Where are the mods  ?  I know  their probably eating Talor ham and egg  sammichs 

This morning the response time here is back to normal.

So, does that mean it wasn't the Russians?

Mods don't run the backend for the site...  Not seeing any slowness issues here but I will ping Maks.

Definitely the Russian. 

I am thinking this is all related to the hackers that were interfering with Cory Feldman's live stream.

The site is still slow loading....

Yupppppp

Yes, I noticed it too this morning. DNS looks OK and the IP ping response is fine. Would seem to indicate an issue on the server.

There's still something intermittently wrong on the server. The IP ping response in the network is consistent and fine. But the page selection after clicking is intermittent. Some are immediate, others delay the load up to 50 seconds. They do eventually complete.

FWIW.

I'm experiencing the same issue 

Could be due to forum backups but I'll have Maks check.

To contribute to troubleshooting, I get the worst delay when replying to a topic. Maybe 30-50 seconds for the write to commit.

But then again, not every single time.

still running slow.

Intermittently, yes. 

Agreed. Was real bad again around 9-ish this morning.

I think its slow right now because all of the kids are home.  My cable internet, wifi hotspot from work, and my phone if I tether to it, are all slow.  The speed is good but there is little bandwidth left.

You may have a local bandwidth problem, but the site has it's own issue somewhere. I have run test comparisons on my single DSL line to it and other sites.

To be sure it's not a big problem. But it's very noticeable intermittently.

Took over a minute for site to initially load just now. If it was a local issue someplace on my side all sites would be impacted. They're not, only this one. Home network and work network.

Could be due to forum backups but I'll have Maks check.  They're scheduled for 3AM but shouldn't last that long.

I saw an issue at about 9:30AM today too.
