Bitcointalk slow or just me?

[campica]

Last two days I have same problem. First I think that it is my internet provider again, before few week I have same problem but on all website. But today every other website works fine and only bitcointalk opening really slow (around 20 sec per page). I hope that they will fix it soon , because it's really annoying.

it's just your opinion, and for me it's still normal and fine alright.

in case of delay. let's fix the speed

I just hired a new and supposedly faster internet and was feeling I was scammed, for here the connexion is unbearably slow. But this is a forum problem, as you have pointed well.
Yes: it is really slow since the last couple of days. Is it an attack, or just the result of the massive affluent of people here? Who knows.

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.

But there is no cloudflare connecting issue all the time we slow web pages. Hope there may be any implementation on the website. If these kind of adding data  on the site this is happening on any website.
Mostly we see this things on E-commerce websites. Since I have experienced on this, I used to set the threshold for some pages.
May be for some pages they may add the threshold limit and running the implementation process if I am right.

I am also encountering this problem currently, If I'm going in a specific I section like meta it took me more or less one minute to be in, this happen suddenly, so I try to install bing app and Firefox and the problem is the same with different browser, this might be an attack or it's under maintenance I guess. Even this reply post takes a minute or less to be post/saved.

I also very slowly load, at first I also thought the Internet, I wanted to go router to torment, but thanks, I had seen this topic)!and realized that I'm not alone and the problem means not with us! it seems better already, do you also? now works fine forum, but I almost broke my router)!

Forum was slow for me also these last two days.
It takes almost 1 min for a page to load regardless of the page. I open a page, do some chores trough the house and come back later to read it
I am from Europe.

Same here. I experience this from time to time. Other websites load normally.

Why would anyone attack the forum? Just to create some FUD? To get profile information?

I am also facing issues while using the forum:

1) It is definitely slower currently. Earlier I thought that this is due to my internet but I checked other websites and they were loading fast.

2) Sometimes while making a post here, the page redirects and all my content written till then is also gone. I have to click on back page to go back to the previous page. Are some IPs blacklisted ?

DDoS are a regular occurence here.
That is why bitcointalk has moved to shitty cloudflare.

Well, I stopped by Meta to see if there was a post such as this and here it is. It is the same thing for me and I think it has been happening for the past several days, but the lag is especially bad today.

I actually ran some speed-tests and restarted my computer the lag was so bad that I thought it must have been on my end, but everything else runs fine except the Bitcointalk forum. I know there is only so much you can do against a DDoS, if that is what it is, but any improvement would be a help at this point.

EDIT: Took about 20 seconds from when I hit the save button on this post originally to when it finished, definitely the lag is getting worse.

I was going to open a post with the exact same title but I've found this one. At first I thought it was due to my connection but no. I am sure staff are fully aware and working on it.

Just want to tell you guys that it is already good for now, at least for me. Now opening a topic and posting a reply or editing goes fast and smooth. I guess there is nothing big happened in this 2 days, maybe just a small changing/patching of the server by the admin and team, but still, having an announcement of something happened in this forum is nice, especially if admin and team knows what is happened.

Yes, seems to be working fine now.

Last two days I have same problem. Forum was very slow.

[Saveplus]

I think they are updating the bitcointalk so thats why sometimes it takes too slow to access the forum.I think there are no attacks happen in forum so be patiently waiting because its continuing and they want the forum faster more so its happens.

[TheQuin]

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

The files definitely have not been removed. https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/star.gif If you just click on the link then the image loads. The problem is with images either being slow to load or failing to load within a post.

No more posts since yesterday, so I suppose issues are over?

Here, everything's working smoothly again!

Sometimes I am having the same problem... Sometimes it doesn't work at all! Maybe the owner should think about new hosting provider or cloud hosting?

At this moment Bitcointalk works for me like a charm.

Yeah, the problem seems over. Everything is working fast as never before and I didn't see pages "checking your browser..." like whole week already!
