Site chugging hard for me

**Buufreak** · 2023-09-12, 01:34 PM (ISO 8601)

Sometimes loading a page I get an SSL Handshake error, code 525. Not having it on other sites, so wanted to share.

Yeah, me too. Sometimes I've gotten an Internal Service Error instead, just to change things up. The last half hour or so has been more errors than not (I wonder how many tries it'll take to post this? Apologies in advance if I end up posting it more than once.

).

I haven't been able to get the site to load for several hours. "Server too busy," also the SSL handshake/code 525.

The site's been a bit sluggish for the past 24 hours or so, but impossible to access for most of this afternoon EST.

I lost access to the site for about an hour today. First I got the SSL handshake thing; then it simply didn't load; and lastly, there was the old "server too busy, try later" thing from xBulletin.

Seems much better in the past few hours. Server gonna server i suppose.

I just started experiencing the same issue a few minutes ago; in fact, I got the error message when trying to reply to this topic.
According to the message I got, “Cloudfare is unable to establish an SSL connection to the origin server.”

Specifically, “It appears that the SSL configuration used is not compatible with Cloudflare. This could happen for a several reasons, including no shared cipher suites.”

I am not a tech guy, so I can hardly make head or tails of what that means, but hopefully that info means something to someone here.
