Forum is regularly slow + today it was down?

[warg]

Hello,

I face regularly spikes of low loading performance and some internal errors from the server when refreshing the forum at different times of the day. Today it was even down for 30-60 minutes or something like that.

Maybe the server of the forum should be upgraded or the software being optimized? I face this since weeks quite often per week.

Can someone confirm this from his/her side as well?

Best Regards,

Haven't noticed anything so far here.

Hm but we had in the past some cases where the server load was too high so the forum throttled the requests, right? There must be something server-side as the forum itself throws server-sided pages when it happens that the load is too high.

I've experienced the same. Waiting a few seconds and then refreshing the page does the trick. I think it's my VPN that's causing/affecting that. All sites load fine except forums (not just this one). If I disable the VPN connection, the forums load fine/faster. I don't notice the speed change on other sites, only on forums. Maybe because they use some hard mechanisms to combat spam? idk, I got no proof, just speculations.

Not down/slow for me

To prevent a confusion/misunderstanding: Right now everything works fine for me. I just meant that in general it's not too good for me. I will wait when it happens again and post a screenshot. I could imagine the monitoring is green because returning this "uh oh we have high load, come back later" page is returning a http code which indicates no downtime.

For the past two days I've also been having trouble connecting to the forum. It happens when I am connected to LTE (T-Mobile PL).

Being at home having fiber optic, it works without a problem or at work with phone line internet without a problem.

It looks more like a global connection problem with some carriers because the forum is located USA and I live in Europe.

This week the forum was way more reliable for me except one or two cases where the forum software told me I have no internet connection. So I wanted to report this issue as resolved but then I faced just right now this (502 Bad Gateway errors; refreshing several times helped):

Interestingly, I also face at the same time issues with Microsoft Office 365 services. Looks like they share something in common.
