Anyone else finding the site really slow ?

I am using firefox on Win10

**paulh** · 06-07-2019, 01:33 PM

Yes, I've noticed quite a bit of lag lately as well. Using Firefox/Chromium on LinuxMint.

**ehrwien** · 06-07-2019, 01:38 PM

Slow for me as well. Sometimes the page will not even start loading for 30 seconds, sometimes it takes two minutes for a button image to load...

I thought that was just me though since I'm from Central Europe and I guess the servers are located somewhere in Northern America?

I recall the site being this slow a year or so ago

Yup, I've tried different browsers, different devices, different networks. I'm sure Adam is aware.

**BigMackCam** · 06-07-2019, 01:53 PM

Yes. I reported it to @Adam yesterday, so he's aware

Add me to the list.

20Mb/s WiFi on iPad using Safari or DuckDuckGo. Frequently my WAP (SSID #1) or Router (SSID #2) times out and kicks me off requiring a Reset. PF seems to not let go of the Router, like Google Ad Services keeps polling for a response from my end (I suspect this is the source of the trouble). Cabled access is faster but there is a lag at half a page load for up tp 30 seconds, then the page load completes. Doesn’t seem to matter whether I’m in a photo thread.

I have tracking and services turned off in Settings and using AdBlock+ with PF Whitelisted.

I also noticed a slowdown and some weird effects today.

My guess is that the PF buffer designated for 'mirrorless' and PentaxIsDoomedTM topics has reached its limit and the overflow is contaminating other parts of the forum.

I noticed (on Android) many more animated ads. I'm getting stuck with videos at the top and bottom of every thread.

Please keep the feedback coming, guys. The intermittent sluggishness is something we're able to reproduce and we're working on finding out what's causing it.

MarkJerling · 06-07-2019, 08:26 PM

Yup, still slow here too. Using Windows10 with Chrome.

The issue should now be fixed- it seems that an automatic update from Wednesday was causing some issues.

Thanks Adam. It's working fine for me now.

Okay, I just uploaded a test image and it was completed in a matter of seconds. Windows 10 with Chrome. Thanks Adam.
