Is it just me? Bitcointalk slow!!!

[DYING_S0UL]

Anyone facing issue accessing bitcointalk? I am unable to browse bitcointalk normally. It's so slow. The pages taking forever to reload. Is it just me or everyone else? My location is "Bangladesh". Can anyone check why is it so slow, or the cause of high ping. My point is, it's not as it was before.

Other sites and apps are working just fine, no network issue.

I'll lock the thread after some hour.

I’m not experiencing any form of lagging here in my end; have you tried using another browser to access the site or clear the cache of your current browser?

Because before I replied your thread I was able to navigate to several boards and also opened different profiles so there’s no way mine is slow if I could do that.

The loading speed on my end is normal. Everything is quick to reload when I click thread. Probably due to your ISP. Try clear data on your browser and if possible use VPN to check whether your loading speed will improve or not.

I experienced this issue on gambling site and it turns out my ISP is probably not compatible on the website loading speed.

The pages taking forever to reload. Is it just me or everyone else?

It must be your internet connection. I am using the forum with TOR connection and it feels normal.

Every thing is working normal. I checked with different browsers and results is same in every browser. If other apps and internet working then it might ne cookies problem. you should clear cookies and I hope your problem will be solved . Check your wifi service also because something the problem comes from there

I am also not facing any type of slowness, even though my internet is slow, but this forum is working just fine, while other websites are taking time due to slow internet. (I think I am using your sources; hehe, that's why your side is slower than before.) Well, the first reason might be the internet, but that's not in this case, so try to clear the cache, cookies, etc. Then try to change the internet; maybe the one you are using has to do something with it.

Try to connect with a VPN, then try to use this forum and give it a try on Tor Browser. In this way, the IP and browser will both be changed, and you can detect if either of them are causing the problem.

No issues here whatsoever, bitcointalk working preety smoothly on both mobile phone and PC. By the way, using Mozilla on both of those devices and located in Europe so your location might be the issue.

[Findingnemo]

so your location might be the issue.

AFAIK, there is no relation to the location and slow loading of bitcointalk and if the government banned it then ISP won't even let the site to load it so probably OP is having issues with the internet connection.

Even I experienced a weird error in the recent past link to the post and after the discussion I found I am the only one who experienced it. Probably the same can be the reason for OP's issue as well so go through the discussions there and see if OP can relate to it.

Are you sure about that? I am asking because I remember that when bitcointalk had some issues recrntly, some people had way more issues than the others so there might be some difference depending from where you are.

so probably OP is having issues with the internet connection.

He said that other sites and apps are working normally and the only issue he has is with bitcointalk.

I did notice a bit of a slowdown, but not when accessing, but when publishing the last couple of posts, it took about 20 or 30 seconds instead of being almost instantaneous, as usual. But looking at the other replies, I guess it must be something to do with my connection and not something generalised.

[DYING_S0UL]

Thanks everyone, fixed the issue somehow. It seems like my ISP was causing some kind of problem.

I tried other browsers, cleared data, restarted router, rebooted my phone several times, nothing worked.

I can't normally use bitcointalk as I used to (for now). It's very slow for me. It took me more than 30 minutes just to reload a page normally and I couldn't even check the comments.

Lastly I used TOR as you guys suggested and it worked. My internet connection is already slow, using TOR/VPN makes it more slower. But I have no choice but to use it like this.

This never happened with me. I'm 100% positive bitcointalk.org isn't banned by my ISP. If it were it would have shown website is blocked but instead it's just taking forever to reload.

OP said that the network is pretty normal, but maybe some DNS changes or depending on the internet provider used as well.
For some locations, the servers are down, but most of the servers are pretty normal and I don't have any issues except for a few hours ago which was a Host Server Error 504.

Even I experienced a weird error in the recent past link to the post and after the discussion I found I am the only one who experienced it. Probably the same can be the reason for OP's issue as well so go through the discussions there and see if OP can relate to it.

Yes, it could be the same error you are experiencing, with normal internet but still experiencing strange errors.
It needs to be traced one by one to find out the cause.

[Nwada001]

The system looks pretty normal to me; I have been browsing through it since morning, and nothing usual has been experienced from my end. Even when I visit threads loaded with a lot of images, it still does not take time to load them all up.
 
Since you are sure the issue is not from your network, it could either be the browsers that you are using or your network provider still blocking something that's making your experience such slow browsing on the forum.

You can either try accessing the forum from another gadget, another browser, or even another network provider and see if the issue will still continue; if it does, maybe it could be as a result of the server being down in some location, and you might also be affected, as shown by the image from the above member, so you can try using some VPN and change your location to see what happens next.

I've been using forum without any issues all day long. And seems that other user aren't reporting about any problems that they facing. So, most likely there issue on your side. Do you access forum through VPN or TOR, these things can make load of pages slower. If not, there is something wrong with your internet connection.

I did notice a bit of a slowdown, but not when accessing, but when publishing the last couple of posts, it took about 20 or 30 seconds instead of being almost instantaneous, as usual.

I face this thing quite often. Forum pages loads fast as it's supposed,, but when I click to publish post, it takes a while until it get published.

[UmerIdrees]

Thanks everyone, fixed the issue somehow. It seems like my ISP was causing some kind of problem.

If the ISP was casuing the issue, then your overall Internet would have been slow but as you mentioned it was bitcointalk in particular,

Other sites and apps are working just fine, no network issue.

So i wonder if your ISP is blocking bitcointalk or there are many people accessing this site from your ISP 

Anyways, if its fixed, then its all good now, Time to lock the thread buddy

It is kind of weird and can't be able to troubleshoot what caused it since it's resolved on its own in a few minutes but as we discussed it's probably due to the local issue and for the record my internet speed was just normal and every other site works perfectly normally. Also checked the network speed which is more than enough to stream 4K video with no issue at all.



But as I said it happened once and lasted very short so didn't know the exact reason.

[rachael9385]

Looking at my profile time, it shows 14 days, 9 hours and 37 minutes, so, I haven't experienced any kind of slow reload, it might be that your secular network speed is too slow and its affecting the forum page and other page on your browsers to reload so slow.

Anyone facing issue accessing bitcointalk? I am unable to browse bitcointalk normally. It's so slow. The pages taking forever to reload. Is it just me or everyone else? My location is "Bangladesh". Can anyone check why is it so slow, or the cause of high ping. My point is, it's not as it was before.

Use VPN and will be able to visit this forum without any problem, your browser will become fast. Be trying it again and again with you ISP network and it will later be fast. I have seen it countless number of time but not frequent though. I use VPN to solve the issue.

I didn't experience the same problem, internet speed was quite good and everything was fine. I obviously don't know what causes it, but every now and then it's true that the forum loads very slowly, but only for a moment and everything is back to normal. I experienced this yesterday when I had several tabs open at the same time, but it didn't last long.

But, what now?

On my side, BTT is working great I think there must be an internet problem but If it is not according to your post It might be a cache problem try to clear it or try to change the browser or try to change the device if it still not work for you then try to use VPN and if you are using one and if you are using one already then try to run the website without it.

I hope this will solve your problem, you will get a better answer from your local mates because the problem might be in your country so your locals can make sure if there is really a speed problem at the local level or what. But at a global level there is no problem.

I was going to suggest other solutions too but many members have already suggested that so.
