Site loading extremely slow / timing out - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Ben_R · 09-29-2023, 08:05 AM

It’s been hovering around 20K guests for the past 6+ hours, running really slow. Pages taking a while to load. 504 gateway time outs.

came here to see this thread..... and yes.... extremely slow ...

from Down Under.

chip75 · 09-29-2023, 09:14 AM

Same from the UK.

Place is running like ass in the US too.

grahams76 · 09-29-2023, 10:55 AM

Animatic33 · 09-29-2023, 11:30 AM

Very slow this morning! 3-5 second wait times for pages to show anything.

TheMayorOfAmity · 09-29-2023, 11:37 AM

Yup

I don't know if it would help, but perhaps deleting literally hundreds of thousands of irrelevant digital copy trading forum posts from the last decade would be a place to start.

We seem to have a steady 16,000 to 17,000 "guests" on the forum, guessing most of those are bots up to no good. Mods or dev team might want to try blocking non-members for a bit.

DaBargainHunta · 09-29-2023, 03:26 PM

Still slow-ish.

Forum would not load for me this morning for several hours. Likely doing some maintenance so hopefully whatever was done fixed the issue.

All is good now on the Western Front.

Total active users vary roughly from 7,000 to 8,000
That's a big drop from averaging roughly 20,000± active users previously.

We're in good hands with iceman.

Site was disabled earlier this morning. Never seen that. Like a bird flying into a woman's head. Like he couldn't avoid it. Never seen that before. Bird into a woman's head.

Batman1980 · 09-29-2023, 09:43 PM

Yeah the site was like the Vikings trying to win a game this year earlier today for me.

iceman · 09-29-2023, 10:24 PM

Thank you for reporting guys. The problem this time was several bots (chatgpt, tiktok and others) making mass accesses on the forum.

Stupid bots.

LordoftheRings · 10-04-2023, 05:20 PM

Just to put things in perspective; one month ago and further the traffic was averaging roughly 20,000 a day ... Now it's averaging roughly 5,000 ... four times less.

Just noticing just noticing ... and just mentioning. ...By the numbers

Cap.T · 10-29-2023, 03:04 PM

Have the issues been fixed for everybody else? I'm from Germany and can hardly use the site anymore for about two weeks now. When I'm on the deals page or in the forum section loading times can take up to 10 minutes. I've tried it with different devices and browsers and the side is slow on everything unfortunately.
