Forum Slow

[RangeBob]

The forum was a little slow March 5 (things that normally take 1 second, take 2 seconds)
but the past few hours March 6 3am toronto time, it's been very slow (things that normally take 1 second, take 1 minute, sometimes more sometimes less)

Posting the previous post, took 2 minutes and 10 seconds.

Seems better now. Not the fastest it's ever been, but quite usable.
Navigation 2 seconds between clicks.
Post this post 2 seconds.
Edit this post 1 second.

 

[Stew]

seems fine now

 

[RangeBob]

Back to peak speed now.

Forum is extremely slow: taking minutes to load pages, often loading them incorrectly. Most of the other sites I visit are problem-free, but a few act like this site.

Sometimes, I get a notice that I can't connect because Safari can't find a secure connection to the GOC server.

Hmm it's working fine here in Ont. on the Linux box

 

[Camo tung]

No issues here.

 

[Macds]

Probably csis stripping data.... nothing to worry about comrade.

Forum still running extremely slow: took a minute to load a page... any page. This all began Friday night, with a handful of sites that run like molasses, yet most sites run just fine.

GOC, Protonmail, True North, all take a minute to load a page. So it's not my computer or modem, unlikely to be my provider (Telus).

Any ideas? Because this forum is effectively unusable for me.

GoC is running at a decent speed for me. Opening new threads under 1 second.
Goc Search is a little slower than normal, but still easily useable.

EDIT: Posting this post took a little over 1 second.

Very strange.
What browser are you using? Have you tried another?

go to testmy.net and run the upload and download tests together, check connection latency.
Have you tried restarting your modem\router ?

Internet upload/download speeds seem normal, no idea what "latency" means. Restarted the modem/router- no change.

However: everything works fine when I use the Gab browser "Dissenter", but Safari is my normal browser. Now I have to get used to opening a second browser, and have to figure out how to save bookmarks to it.

edited to add: thank you Macds for that suggestion. I wouldn't have thought of that.

All good here.

I just realized that this crap began after I got a pop-up notice that Flash was no longer supported, and it was highly recommended that I remove it.

I did so, not seeing any harm, as I rarely use Flash, and have been getting many notices about it's demise.

Clearing History and caches made no difference. Right now I'm using Dissenter... and may have to make that my default browser.

some ideas

1) I was going to ask you to clear your cache, but you've done that
2) try removing/disabling any browser plug ins that you don't want
3) see if you can force a browser software update
4) replace your hosts file with http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

Update: today, everything is working just fine. I have no idea what I did, or what happened, but it's all working now.

Seems slow this morning.

Interestingly, Facebook is down right now, world-wide.

Suckas!

Maybe the bots and trackers are confused and are awaiting instructions from another source?
