Slow site performance

HeidiHeidi

Is there something up with the site today?

Pages are glacially slow to load, haven't experienced it with other websites, just boards.

I've tried rebooting, still the same.

Not the end of the world, but v frustrating!

Hope this is the right place to ask......

The site is unusable the last 3 days, I presume today will be the same.
When exactly are you expecting this to be fixed?

Incognito bowser page on the phone, which worked perfectly for two days for me, has given up

Hoping the tablet with chrome, which I haven't yet tried, is still ok.

Any update from HQ?

There is probably a common feature that is creating this loading problem. But it doesn't apply to me using old Chrome ie 47 desktop and 53 android. The database old posts issue is happening on touch site, along with odd thing, the speaker icon appears for a moment when I click a page. No other site prompts this action. Odd.

Working perfectly for me again

I'm using the Samsung browser on an S10+ and it's a pain. 30-60 seconds for each action.

Anyone know what the reason is?

The reason the site is slow or the reason they haven't fixed it yet??

Here's what I did - laptop, chrome.

Deleted browsing history, ran CCleaner as I normally would (cos it always gets what is left behind after deleting history) https://www.ccleaner.com/

It's flying along as normal. I see others say it's back anyway so may be a coincidence.

Sounds like somebody didn't expire a cookie that they should have tbh.

Sounds reasonably easy for the Boards.ie IT team to fix?

Cudos to Glasso, a clear did improve things.

How it was: [15 SECONDS TO LOAD]

Cleared (thus logged out):

80-90 seconds to load a page on Firefox or Chromium even after clearing cookies etc

The full site is unusable at the minute.

Yikes.

At least this thread has confirmed it's not my fault, and I don't need to get a new phone (which I was starting to convince myself of)

You had me going there for a few seconds

Loading linked attachments (embedded pictures) still totally fails for me.

Using boards touch site via chrome on iPhone. It crawls on pages with jpegs for me. If I click on the jpeg, it hangs and never loads. Sometimes crashes out of site. If the picture is embedded, things seem to work better.

No major problems loading pages but what I am seeing is

Clicking linked images just doesn't work
Some forums are coming up with pages from 15/16/17 years ago (bargain alerts for one)

Using chrome on Android.

Probably a database issue, linked uploaded images also fail, as well as last opened page in forums out of sync.

Esel

Also, any new users (since the slowdown) are not going to stick around.

JDxtra

No value in a few having access to boards because they've cleared cookies or some other tweak. There'll be nobody to chat to!

This needs to be fixed for all by a fix (or multiple fixes) by the boards technical team.

iamwhoiam

I cleared history and cookies on my i phone and its working again . Phew !! I nearly gave up on boards

if you use Chrome on laptop would recommend you give this a try.

mobile seems a lost cause at the moment

I did this just now on my phone. (Samsung using Chrome) and it worked perfectly, thanks!

It was taking a good 60 seconds for anything to load the last few days for me
