Slow site performance

JDxtra · 03-05-2020 04:33PM

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.

Esel · 03-05-2020 04:55PM

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

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.

Seems to be back to normal this evening.

Well done folks.

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.

You had me going there for a few seconds

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

If anything its worse than ever here...........
Its taken over 3 minutes to load this page

DavyD_83 · 03-05-2020 06:37PM

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)

Yikes.

The full site is unusable at the minute.

Gerry Wicklow · 03-05-2020 07:27PM

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

ED E · 03-05-2020 07:31PM

Cudos to Glasso, a clear did improve things.

How it was: [15 SECONDS TO LOAD]

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

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

YFlyer · 03-05-2020 08:33PM

Anyone know what the reason is?

Gen.Zhukov · 03-05-2020 08:48PM

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.

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

Gerry Wicklow · 03-05-2020 09:00PM

at the risk of jinxing it seems OK now

greasepalm · 03-05-2020 09:19PM

To be reviewed.

greasepalm · 03-05-2020 09:21PM

Nope still crap error 500 internal server.and previous reply would not post.

trellheim · 03-05-2020 10:08PM

regular 8-9 second page load times irrespective of cookies or browser choice ; lads whoevers on support will ye defrag the database or pay for more database nodes

DrPhilG · 03-05-2020 10:11PM

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

wonga77 · 03-05-2020 10:14PM

Working perfectly for me again

Harry Palmr · 03-05-2020 10:50PM

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.

HeidiHeidi · 03-05-2020 10:52PM

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?

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

Penfailed · 04-05-2020 07:21AM

Still sh1te here.

Tom Mann Centuria · 04-05-2020 07:34AM

Abysmal still. Touch site/Chrome browser/Android.

On 1st May I was told the nodes are under strain causing slow load times and unresponsiveness. They also said they didn't have a time frame for when they might get it fixed. So not holding my breath for a better experience.

Edit: glasso fix has definitely improved things.

Can't see how it's overloaded nodes at 2 or 3 in the morning.
