Bitcointalk slow or just me?

[AdolfinWolf]

Bitcointalk currently loads extremely slow for me. Anyone else encountering this?

Whenever i use a third party to check the response time, it's usually ~300ms.

That can't be normal right?



This topic for example, with only 39 replies took me 10-15 seconds to load..?

Any fix to this? It's quite annoying when you're just scrolling/reading through threads.

I think this forum is under some kind of attack right now...

I think Quickseller was given some coin to attack the forum, so we know it's not him doing it...

Well that explains some stuff.
I was wondering if my internet was slow.

[virendarnagpal]

In case only bitcointalk specifically is slow then  it is matter of concern.  There is possibility of some outside attack.
Whenever my internet is slow ; then no site is opening or are opening with delay.  Though I have not experienced late opening of bitcoin when other sites are opening taking normal time.

Sometimes very rarely it loads cloudflare offline page for me. It happened 2/3 times only in my entire BitcoinTalk experience (96 days). However, when I reload the link then it works. Possible reason could be very high traffic on the site.

You can check from here: https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
There are other redirect links to other sites from the above site for speed testing, whois etc.

i guess this is only for you , it's normal for me

I also confirm that it is extremely slow today. It could be some kind of attack or a huge amount of users are online.

Whenever I click a button/link it takes more time than usual, it's around 10-20secs per attempt.

Funny enough, my user experience on the forum has been smooth today.

I used to experience the cloudflare offline page stuff in my early days on the forum. Good thing it has stopped as it was pretty frustrating.

bitcointalk.org has been very slow for me today.  I did receive the CloudFlare gateway error one time.  It must be under heavy load/attack or the backend servers need a little TLC.

It seems to be better now compared to earlier today.

Best,
Ben

Sometimes If edit my browser configuration in the setting it will be slow to response in this forum.
But most of the time this forum is having a DDOS every now and then that can lead to a slower response from IP to IP.

It's been business as usual on my end today, I haven't personally noticed anything out of the ordinary on the forums, things load like normal and even opening spam megathreads in Bitcoin Discussion takes just a second or two. I got the Cloudflare loading page today, which I've only seen two or three times in the last year, but that's about it.

Just did a quick ping check and it seems loading times are slightly slow today, though I don't personally feel it. I've had much worse in terms of response time on the forums though, this is nothing.

Bumping this since it is extremely slow again.

Didn't really have much problems past week but for some reason the slow loading  has returned for me again. I haven't seen any cloudflare redirecting screens, so protection might be lowered again, hence why the lagg might have returned for me?

Anyone else from EU having these problems?

I didn't notice anything extremely slow, my comp is old so everything works with short delays, I'm just used to live with that, nothing annoys me so much as OP. The thing I've noticed is that almost every time when I open bitcoin talk it is appear some page with checking my browser, by the ID is always different. Why?

I can confirm that the forum is pretty slow for me in last 2-3 days,and today situation is pretty bad.It takes 20-40 sec to load page,but it is not problem in my internet,all other sites working just fine.Looks like it's another one DDoS attack,but that does not affect equally to all users.I am also from EU.

[fxstrike]

its feel a little bit slow today compared to yesterday and there is problem with this page probably some files removed from server or maybe just because of the connection being too slow it timeout while downloading the image

[gawer33]

50 secs to open a topic with 118 replies also getting the error more often. now I feel lazier searching for topics, very hassle  . I think threads with more views is slower and more errors.

[endlasuresh]

I am too getting very low speeds and most time it is getting stucked around pages.

I am in asia and sometimes access is very slow. Whereas my internet speed reaches 50 Mbps, and when I access from office with 200Mbps speed then access to bitcointalk forum still felt slow too. There seems to be a server-side problem and hopefully not elapsed in a long time.

Judging from the internet network and access that people have here, we can conclude that the sense of slowness experienced by many people. I guess when more access to this forum then this will have an impact on the time to load the page, otherwise direct from cloudfire also seems to be a problem that must be immediately addressed. Of course we will be comfortable when able to access this forum quickly.

Adding one more voice to this topic. I have the same problem as you OP, opening some topics kinda slow right now and sometimes it checked the page from ddos attack. I dont know why do i have this, i hope this is an error from server side and there is an official explanation from admin when things like these happened. Nevertheless i hope it is fixed soon so we have the great experience again on this forum.
