Slow loading
I’ve had a number of complaints that the blog is loading more slowly than usual, although it’s still loading. I’m working to find and fix the source of the problem, and I ask everyone who’s experiencing it to please bear with me for a while.
I’ve noticed that for me, the blog is slowing down only sporadically. Most of the time it seems fine, but now and again it’s slow. I’ve noticed that it seems to bear some relationship to how much spam has accumulated, and how recently I’ve cleared out the spam file. I’ve been trying to do that more often lately, and it seems to help. But I’m not sure that’s the source.
This phenomenon has occurred once or twice before, and each time it has cleared up pretty much of itself. I don’t think it’s an attack of any sort, but I don’t know for sure. If you could keep me posted on any changes, I’d appreciate it. My hope is that in the next couple of days it clears up as it’s done in the past.
My apologies.
Yeah, it’s been choppy for maybe about a week.
I’ve noticed that it’s been slow, but worth waiting for!
The blog seems to load as quickly as ever.
Comments are taking longer than usual to load and update.
If it matters, I am a Comcast customer in Northeastern Illinois.
Takes 3 to 4 seconds for the entire page to load here. Pretty much standard for years.
It’s hit ‘n miss down under.
But only started noticing it as a problem today.
It’s fine for me today. Real quick, in fact.
(Uh oh, the hackers know that we’re on to them!)
Actually, I take it back a bit:
It loads slowly on the articles with the most comments.
This morning on Chrome at the fast ISP (not home) it loaded quickly, back to normal it seems.
Still slow today. Doesn’t matter which browser. Other websites load at normal speed.
Even on this article, with few comments.
Noticeably faster this morning.
Internet congestion perhaps. Some nodes have failed recently. Wonder if the net will still be here come WWIII and CW 2.
Decent response time today.
Decent response yesterday and today … presumably you found the root cause and fixed this Neo. Thanks.
