Anyone else seeing particylarly poor performance at enworld?

[Nagol]

G'day Folks,

I've been trying to use enworld for several days now with double-digit wait between page loads and generally crappy performance. Any chance others have noticed or is it something towards my end of the Internet?

It's not just you. Any page I've not cached resolves slowly.

I've been having a lot of issues for a bit now. Time outs; bad gateways and database errors so it definitely isn't only you Nagol.

Yup me too, but it has been on and off for years. Taking in the region of 10-30 secs to load each page, and errors as stated. The performance for ENW hasn't been good for a long time, sadly.

Its been awful for a while. But I'm not paying for it so I just go with the flow.

Every time my computer gets sent an "upgrade", its performance gets worse. I got one over Christmas / New Years, and moving around has been like wading in molasses.

EnWorld has its own problems in addition - it hasn't been the same since the Great Crash. "Waiting for response" is becoming more common. "Bad Gateway" shows up if I flip through too many pages quickly.

I presume that Morrus is working on improving the user experience from his end. Since I'm not paying anything to be here, I will practice the virtue of Patience and let him DO that.

Nope, not just you. It goes in waves.

I imagine Morrus having to reboot the Windows server...

Chiming in. Things have gotten much better today. I'm presuming that a fix has been executed.

Not from NZ (other UK sites are fine like The Guardian newspaper) still loads normal once every so often, mostly 10 odd seconds per load

Traffic has been increasing throughout the last year, and we're reaching a point where we need to accommodate it somehow - it's stretching resources to their limits. Working on it, but it's not quick fix.
