Forum slow 19-04-2024

Post by big john » Fri Apr 19, 2024 8:49 am

Have had problems all morning. When I first opened the site it came back with 504 bad gateway second attempt opened ok but I was logged out
tried to login but bad gateway again second attempt succeeded. opening threads is slow and posting is also slow or fails with bad gateway It said bad gateway for one post but on reopening the message had been posted. Is it me or has the site been got at?

Was running slow for me yesterday and this morning, PC & mobile. I cleared cookies/cache on both devices which solved it briefly. A bit better as I post

Same here. Opening a topic today sometimes cost between 10-15 seconds, which normally takes me 1-2 seconds (both pc/mobile). It has been running slower and slower for the past couple of days imho and as of today the occasional bad gateway 504 message.

Typically, around 1040lt the forum looks to be running normally again.

The forum has been running slow virtually all day

I too have had gateway timeout issues

Wonder if there are too many concurrent connections or the database needs optimizing?

New posts are submitted but it appears to be the refresh of the existing topic after the post that is slow plus as mentioned just browsing a section is tedious

Typically this post went through as normal!

Very slow today for me. Takes up to a minute or more to load a page or make a post

Some pages timed out altogether today. Very slow to open the Forum slow page!

I realise we don't pay for FC so not a complaint by any means just an observation in case a lever can be pulled or a button pressed somewhere on the system :thumb:

Looks as though UKAR's site is also lagging similar to FC as well, could be something similar

Even late at night in times of lower usage it's taking an age to load-up & still getting the '504 Bad Gateway' time-out message? :'(

Edit...54 seconds to load the initial comment, 57 sec's to see the edit facility!

Hopefully a forum admin/mod has actually informed the site admin. All too often in the past I've seen sites suffer lengthy periods of problems because the forum admin wrongly assumed the site admin was aware when he was not.
