Loading and/or speed issues
Please use this thread to report any major loading and/or speed issues with the forum. Please don't report if a single page load or post took a while to load or submit, just if there is a continuing issue over a period of time.
Please include the following information:
- When it started
- When it finished (or if still ongoing)
- Your timezone
- Your region (Country at the very minimum, but state/providence would be very helpful—and city too—if you are happy to drill down that far)
- The browser(s) and device(s) you are using
- Details of the issue, including approximate wait times and any error messages

Re: Forum Errors and Glitches - Report Issues Here
Rawhide,
Please be aware I'm experiencing significant slowdown in loading time of all pages of the forum, for the last 30 minutes or so - including a good 20 seconds to load this topic & another 15-ish to load the "reply to thread".
ETA: posting itself was 30 seconds, and accessing the Edit Post section, 15.
Yours,

Re: Forum Errors and Glitches - Report Issues Here
I gave it an hour, but upon returning to see your answer, I've been getting a large amount of error 522 (timeout between the cloudflare network and the web server, according to the page). The error claims that cloudflare is "working" and that the forums are in "error". I was even informed a couple of times that the site was down and offered a cache'ed version. I have a screenshot & a "Ray ID" in case either are relevant.
Yours,

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
I've moved this discussion to a thread of its own, and updated the first post to request more information about the issue. Please check the first post and fill in as much of that information as you can remember.

Re: Forum Errors and Glitches - Report Issues Here
I'm not seeing any major or out of the ordinary spikes or dips in any of the server resources, and I was able to connect during that same period at full speed. This makes me suspect that the 522 page CloudFlare displayed was incorrect, or that there was a network issue between a specific CloudFlare region and the server. Either way, the issues so far seem to be only affecting people using your regional edge servers. I will continue to monitor this and have moved this to a new thread (as noted above) in order to better determine the cause.

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
Using a proxy server, I have connected to the forums from the same general location as believe you are, and confirmed that the site does appear to be loading slower. I switched to a different proxy server in the same country, and the site loads just fine.

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
Just wanted to say that last night (after your most recent post) the forums were still very slow to navigate (15-20 seconds per click) but this morning things are incredibly snappy and responsive.

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
Follow up - About 30 minutes after my last post the site crashed on me and wouldn't load for a few minutes. Then it started working again and was fast again. Now it's taking about 20 seconds per click again.
I'm guessing there's stuff going on behind the scenes but figured I'd post this update just in case it was relevant at all.

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
Same problem as LudicSavant and OzDragon except in the Philippines (GMT+8). Been barely able to even access the forums. This has resulted in a severe bottleneck for a game I'm recruiting for.

Same. It comes and goes in bursts, sometimes lasting hours at a time.

Loading speed is back to normal from my end.

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
It seems to be working fine at the moment but I think it should be kept under observation for a while more.

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
Don't have a place to host the screenshot, but this was the text at the top:
Error 520 Ray ID: 56f4cff06e42d292 • 2020-03-05 15:18:54 UTC
Web server is returning an unknown error
Under it, a simplified picture claiming the forum.giantitp.com host is in "Error" and cloudflare is "Working"
When it started: just now, maybe two minutes ago, by the time I post this
When it finished (or if still ongoing): ongoing
Not really comfortable giving any location data. You as and admin can probably figure it out, but I'd rather not simply state it outright.
Using Firefox on windows.
Wait times are not as bad as last time, maybe 10-15 seconds, when the page loads.

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
I've once again made a change which might mean that these speed issues could return. Please remember to include the following information:
Also, please include a screenshot if you get a 522 (or other Cloudflare) error.
P.S. The main site is also (finally) moved over to the new server.

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
I am experiencing no issues at current. There was a brief moment yesterday when it was taking maybe an extra second or two to load the pages, but nothing worth mentioning at the time, and whatever it was, it's not happening anymore.

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
I check the forums probably 2-3 times per day and have not noticed any issues since my last post (about 2/26).

Re: Loading and/or speed issues
Not sure if it's appropriate to post here. Lot of slowdown today (April 1st...what a day to pick) and loading problems. Had been good up to 2am GMT then hit a wall. Using Firefox, am in the United States and the loading issues have continued up to 3am GMT.
Edit: Issues seems to have cleared at 3:12am. GMT.Last edited by Razade; 2020-04-01 at 05:12 AM.
