Sites going a bit slow

[Pross]

Been having the same for a good few days. iPhone, iPad and Windows laptop, I was away in the Highlands at first and assumed it was the accommodation Wi-Fi but got the same on 5G, I then went down to the Lakes and still the same and it's now like it at home. I've cleared my cache and cookies, the only common factor is the Chrome browser (haven't tried Edge or Safari).

Its like it when I tried Microsoft Edge (tm).

A lot of silence from moderators/site management on this.

Mod note:

I have alerted Shaun in #40 of this thread.

No reply as of yet.

Other than that, there is nothing the Mods can do. To 'get under the bonnet' requires Administrator access which none of us have.

It’s now doing the same on my Samsung basic phone. On the iPad it works for a moment or two, and then just jams up. I really miss my daily @Drago fix.

Not experienced this at all to date...

No doubt the AI are now planning to slow me down as soon as I post this reply!

I'm using Three 5G mobile BB.

Given the unpredictable nature of the slowness across different users, and the fact that the site relies on Cloudflare's highly stable network edge, it is very likely that the bottleneck is happening on the backend hosting server.

While I don't know the specifics of how the site is hosted, if it's on a shared or multi-tenanted server, the issue could stem from anything ranging from a transient hardware bottleneck to a "noisy neighbour" (another website on the same machine hogging all the resources). This isn't something that can be diagnosed from outside the tent, so the best next step would be for the admins to raise an enquiry with the service provider to check the master server logs.

As I posted early on Google AI suggests its the forums database or related matters. Google xenfon forums running slowly.

If there is some corruption in the database that wouid explain some not having issues as their login data will be in the uncorrupted part.

Just (finally, I've been a bit lazy doing this) updated the OS to Monterey (last update I can run) plus a Safari update and still ok here.

It's all even numbered posters reporting issues.

No problems when on the home PC (wired connection & Firefox) over the past few days, but occasional 'failed to load' messages and slow running when out and about on the mobile (Andriod, WiFi or mobile data and with both Firefox & Chrome.

All these bots sucking wisdom out of Cyclechat mean that pretty soon AI is going to have some pretty odd, very strident opinions on chain waxing, rim brakes and tubeless tyres.

Not to mention some very interesting facts about Chris Rea and Ross Kemp!

That does imply a database issue as its most likely recording user, device and location.
