Loading "Watchlist" is very slow

[LoyceV]

Currently:
Show unread posts since last visit. works fine.
Show new replies to your posts. works fine.
Watchlist takes 60 seconds to load.

Earlier I got some errors about not being able to connect to the database or something, I don't remember the exact message (it was on mobile).

Same for me.

It takes very long to load (not 60 seconds, but about 30).

Additionally the watchlist exactly shows what i can see under the 'Show new replies to your posts'-tab, not what actually is in my watchlist.
When i click on 'Edit watchlist', i see my (real) watchlist entries (which differs heavily from the 'Show new replies to your posts').



Edit:
It is fixed for me now. Everything back to normal (loads fast + correct watchlist).
I am still curious what exactly happened.

Watchlist takes around 5 sec. for me to load/open.
The rest no more than 2 sec.

Edited:
Testing on my mobile... Watchlist is still loading... ... ... 40 sec. ... ...  Opened after ca. 1 min.

The watchlist isn't the only thing that is slow. The database is a mess today. Even with cloudflare thermos can't keep this place up properly. I gotta go slap my master.

The same thing is happening with the reporting. I just sent 3 reports with a time difference in between more than 4-5 seconds. After 20 sec. the first report when trough but for the other two I got the typical 4 sec error >

The last posting from your IP was less than 4 seconds ago. Please try again later. The thing you were trying to post was saved as a draft. This limit decreases substantially as your account becomes more established.

It's hard to report now...

The hell freezes over?
I see mine is loading faster than Lightning Network Transaction :-P

I'm performing database maintenance which could periodically slow down certain things. Post again if it's still notably slow on Saturday. (Though the watchlist is something that's always been not-very-performant. It helps if you edit your watchlist to make it smaller.)

I have been experiencing this one with almost all that you have stated for a week by now.

It keeps on dropping up when the cloudflare starts to do its job.

@ theymos,  have you been doing the maintenance  for several days already? If I am not mistaken I did experience this starting last saturday til now

It's back to normal, loading takes about a second but that's very acceptable.

Locking thread.

Unlocked: the problem is back For a few days now, my Watchlist is getting slower, it now takes ~24 seconds to load. Deleting a couple dozen old entries didn't help. Posting a new post is also slow, and Show the last topics started by this person is a bit slow.

Loading topics and user's post history works fine.

I have the same problem and it started Friday or Saturday. It doesn't take me ~20 seconds but it's like using the internet connection in 1995.
From my side, it also includes loading topics, and when I reply

Edit to add:

[Lucius]

Posting a new post is also slow, and Show the last topics started by this person is a bit slow.

I can confirm that I also have big problems when it comes to posting new posts. What used to last about 5 seconds, now lasts at least 5 times longer, and very often instead of back to topic the result is a blank page.

I also have problems with the search option, it takes too long, and mostly if there are more than 2 pages of results I also only get a blank page - reload fix problem.
