Have the forums been running slow for you?

[An Animating Cuber]

For the past two days the forums have been running really slow for me (30+ seconds loading times), this is really annoying and I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems, I doubt its my Wifi because other sites never have problems, if it is a me problem what can I do?

I have been having similar issues and sometimes it says that there has been a server timeout.

 

[SkewbIsTheBestEvent]

Same for me, I don't know why it is happening though.

 

[Ayce]

I'm having issues as well, its possible an influx of new users might've caused it.

 

[Arcanist]

Yeah I takes me like 2 minutes to get into forums.

Could it be that there is a mass influx of new users?

 

[Cubinginatree]

Yeah I takes me like 2 minutes to get into forums.

For me it has took as long as 5 minutes. I thought it was just me. @pjk ?

Me too, I thought it was just my internet. @Mike Hughey

 

[fes_77]

Who would want to target a Rubik's cube forum with a DDOS attack. People these days

by the looks of it it is the server conection being slow is actully probally cloudflare that is causing it to be slow

We're having some issues over the last 2 days, apologies. Working to get them resolved ASAP.

For me only 1 out of a few times does it successfully get into site and even then going to forums and other parts of the site takes even more time and tries

I thought it was my browser problem... cookies, privacy, you know...

thank you for confirming this

 

[GeographicalCuber]

I’m also having problems

I was tempted to start this thread a couple days back. But was afraid to set off a false alarm; that the problem was somehow on my end. I thought if there was really a problem, then why hasn't anyone else posted about it. But of course, someone has to be first. I tried different browsers and different devices, but all had major loading lag if it even loaded at all.

Pretty sure it's an issue with the hoster, CloudFlare. It's one of the best hosting options out there, but it's so extremely temperamental and is a lot of grief to some websites.
