ENworld periodically slows to a crawl?

[Plane Sailing]

Thanks for all the good work guys.

Every day from 2pm GMT onwards I find that ENworld slows down considerably - I normally put it down to the USA getting online but recently it frequently gets to the stage where I have to wait over a minute for a page to be served! (this is from a fast T1 connection)

The problem has been getting more noticeable since the start of April.

Are there traffic or server issues? Or am I just unlucky

Cheers

I second that, and I have noticed slow response in the early afternoon (i'm in Indiana)...

I just did a search for the words "power attack" in the title of threads in the rules forum and the search took 1765 seconds. Is that normal?

Exactly the same problem with me (North American Central Time Zone). I'm at work with a super-fast connection, and everything on the internet is blazingly fast... except ENWorld.

As Plane Sailing above, I've noticed it more around the beginning of April.

I'm having the same issues. Different computers (home and work) both with broadband connections and various times like 10 AM, 3PM and 7PM Eastern.

ditto. from 0900 until 1400 EST.

Just reached 4pm GMT and things have sped up again. Wierd. I wonder if there is a spike for some reason recorded in the server logs, or something else.

Same here. Mid morning and mid afternoon seem to be the worst (approx. 9am-11am, and again 2pm-4pm EST).

I would imagine it's because those are peak times for usage of the site. The site is probably hitting some bandwidth caps or something. I don't know how much Morrus and the gang can do about it right now.

It's catch and go for me it looking back I'd say my experience is the same with those who have posted above.

Right now the boards are really frustrating. I'm double posting all over the place

It's generally much slower when I post something then when I view something.
