It was actually not resolving and erroring out. Not just slow but its back now.

Russians.

I think it was two mornings ago it was totally unresponsive. The IP responded to pings, but no content returned. And the lag seems to be intermittent more often now.

Did the site blip? It wasn’t resolving about 15 mins ago. Every other website was resolving so not an ISP issue.

There was an issue a little bit ago - DNS resolution wasn't working - webhost had restarted the server and DNS lookups weren't working.  Thought I was the only one that noticed but I guess not.

Thanks for follow up. Good to know.

Sop here. This forum is typically the least responsive, slowest and downright aggravating to me. Could be my home support system but almost all others sites I visit work in real time. Oh well.

Well next time, I'll check DNS resolution as well as IP Ping.

it's slow for me every morning when i log in before i start work.

Well it's another morning taking around 30 seconds for a page to come up. And there's no DSN or network response time to the IP issues.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone watch the forum server performance when it acts like this? I'd be really curious to know where the bottleneck is.

Same today

 

Well here's what I get this morning trying for about four minutes to reach the 1st Amendment Lounge:

 

Gateway Timeout

The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.

Additionally, a 504 Gateway Timeout error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The server's really dogging it this morning. Same error as posted above.

they're super slow every morning. today i couldn't get in for about a half hour.

This is the only forum I pay for...and of course it is the worst in terms of speed/slowness. 

It's the backups.  Will mention it to Maks again.

OK, that would explain it. If we're doing disk to device backup and not running on something resembling a SAN with snapshots, beaucoup disk I/O. 

How about scheduling them around 2 AM, assuming they'd complete in less than four hours.

Whacked out this morning as well.  Been trying to log on for an hour.

it went down for me this morning. again.

Was not responding at all until sometime after 10:00.

 

Noticed the same and mentioned it to Maks - he is checking with the hosting provider.

I would hazard a guess that it's the NSA and their cronies that are causing the slowdowns and stoppages that NJGF has been experiencing.

Would not surprise me AT ALL. After all, don't most of us fit their current definition of DT's?

It's Trump's Fault

Maks has a ticket open with the website host.  

Sorry for the issues this morning, folks.  I think we have it figured out.  Some of you may have saw the "Site suspended" error message - no, we weren't suspended - that's the default backend webpage unfortunately.  It's misleading.  

Couldn't pull up any page for quite a while. Then got a 'gateway timeout' error. FWIW.
