DemonGSides Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 B&C is normally a pretty snappy website, but yesterday and today the loading of even short threads has been... egregious. Talking 15+ seconds for entirely text threads. I'm not expecting instant gratification but it was way faster even just a few days ago. No other websites/games/videos are showing the same type of slow-down and it's happening to me on multiple networks (Mobile, wifi at work and also home ethernet/wifi) so just wanted to make it known to site owners.

Brother Tyler Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 We plan to perform a site reboot as soon as our sacristans have time. That should resolve the issue for now. In the longer run, we're looking at moving to a new server.

DemonGSides Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Yeah funny enough right after posting that thread, the next thread I tried to look at was an insta CloudFlare pop up. Seems to be a bit better today.

Joe Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Just to add; the site was / is definitely chugging today. Watching it take nearly ten minutes to load some pages wasn't fun.

DemonGSides Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 I know there's been communication around it, but today was particularly brutal for loading the site. Saw multiple Cloudflare warnings about SSL handshake failing.

WrathOfTheLion Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hopefully it should be a bit better now that the server is rebooted. Unfortunately, one of the backend applications tends to slowly creep up in resource usage over time, like most Java applications. A better server will hopefully fix it in the long run, provided it doesn't take it as license to take all that memory as well.

Felix Antipodes Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Unfortunately, the site is still running slow. I’ve accessed it via both PC and mobile devices with the results the same. Not getting cloudflare notices again (yet). We may be looking at that new server sooner rather than later.

darkdark25 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I'm also still experiencing slow times in both PC and Mobile, and unlike Felix I got a Cloudflare notice on my phone when I tried accessing the site after the update.

WrathOfTheLion Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) It could also be an inefficiency on the network side, rather than one of the machine as well. I'll see about taking a look this weekend. Although we do need a better server, it wasn't doing this before, which implies something around it may have changed.

Indy Techwisp Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Website very slow on PC and Mobile here. Is it possible someone's trying to archive the entire site and that's why everything is slow?

WrathOfTheLion Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Could be some webcrawlers are putting a large network strain on it, as well it could also be the search index, which previously caused feeds to crash. It stopped doing that, but could be just affecting performance instead. I can give it a deeper look tomorrow, as I still have work today.

Felix Antipodes Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Don’t know if you have done anything yet with the hammer of percussive maintenance, but the site is running pretty smoothly today (for info).

WrathOfTheLion Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) I did the hammer of rebooting, which seems to have made it more responsive. But there's times when it doesn't want to be. I'll reindex our search database tomorrow, then maybe do some poking around to see if anything catches my eye.

WrathOfTheLion Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I did some digging and found that our database is what's taking up our resources sometimes, causing the server to be unresponsive. So I'll have to keep looking as to why it does that.

refuse Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Happening again lately. Got the same cloudflare error as above. Madao 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387474-site-taking-a-long-time-to-load-anything/#findComment-6172619 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK0SIAN Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 The site has started taking absolutely ages to load again. Trying to open the homepage is taking between 20-30 seconds, sometimes even longer. Once you’re on the site the individual pages are taking a long time to load too. I’m using chrome browser on iOS. Everything is up to date and it’s only this site that’s affected, everything else loads fine.

Arkley Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Site is performing like a bag of spanners lately. I am getting the cloudflare issue.

Dr. Clock Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) Yep - same - also the photo upload window isn't showing correctly, and I can't even get to a gallery to any of my galleries. I'm using Firefox 150.0.4 on OSX 26.5.1 Hopefully things straighten out presently. Edit to add: it cleared up late yesterday, thanks. Cheers, The Good Doctor.

WrathOfTheLion Posted Thursday at 04:30 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:30 PM Yep, I think I've tracked down what is doing this part of it now, but I need to check to see how we can mitigate/optimize that part.

WrathOfTheLion Posted Thursday at 05:20 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:20 PM Essentially, the problem is a bug in the Invision software, causing one of the automated processes that happen every six hours to slam the database and max out the server's cpu. The changes I made yesterday makes this take less time to clear up, but don't get rid of it. Unfortunately, there isn't a single magic change to fix it, but we have some options to mitigate it.
