Site slow

I keep getting timeouts when loading a page.
Being at work, I don't know if it's the site, or if it's the corporate firewalls, filters, etc. etc.

You're getting those now?

Site is currently running smoothly for me.
 
Accessing “alerts” is still slow, is it just me?
 
Anyone else finding that DP is slow loading today?

Yes, very slow. I tried multiple browsers on a few different platforms. All having the same, what appears to be site server, problems.
 
We've been dealing with a ddos attack the past few days. Performance has improved today since changes were made.
Thanks, I was getting page will not load, reload, may be problem with site. That happened on two different browsers, then suddenly everything was okay. Today has been fine.
 
Still inconsistent, especially navigating within the site.


Edit: seems ok now?

Geez. A DDOS. Script kiddies at it again? :rolleyes:
Thanks for you and your team's work keeping things working. Its appreciated, at least by me.
 
Still very slow this morning. Lots of pages fail to load.
 
Same.

Any information on the origin(s) of the DOS attack?
 
Same here. I’m sorta glad it’s just nor me. It sometimes takes so long that trying to load the page times out. It’s almost useless quite a bit.
 
How about now?

/crossed fingers and toes
 
Yeah, same here. What's interesting is it's worse at loading alerts and the profile section. It's hit or miss loading pages.

I think the server load has to be factored in, as here in Japan at this time (our mid-morning and into early afternoon) there has been no trouble at all, since those down times I noted in that earlier thread. So there are fewer U.S. folks on the site and we here in Japan can breeze right through all threads/pages. That points to server load; or the DDoS attack folks are sleeping while we here in Japan are up and running.
 
More so on my IPhone than when I’m on the IMAC. Slow to load
 
Still clunky for me, esp loading “alerts”
