Investigating BYC Being Slow

[LoveMyChickenBabies]

Hi all,

Me and some others have noticed BYC being kind of slow today. Such as double posts and taking longer to refresh and post a reply. Has it been slow for you? Just wondering if it's a bug or if there is something else going on.

Yes for me and also randomly double posting

I had that issue late last night and into today.

Out of frustration I just came here to see if anyone had mentioned this or if I was the only one. It took me almost 6 minutes to get the page to open.
It has gotten worse and worse over the past few days. Yesterday it was on/off. Today has been terrible.

Thanks for all the great details! The best thing we can do is to isolate patterns / similarities in peeps having problems. A few things I've heard (correct me if wrong or I missed something):

1. The issue is NOT related to ads. PFM's that don't have any ads are also having the problem.
2. It's NOT isolated to a specific web browser or device type or anything else technical
3. It *might* be isolated to peeps in a specific geographic area.

This all being the case, it could be an ISP / internet / cloudflare / routing issue.

We can look into disabling cloudflare and see if that makes a difference.

I'm merging the threads that are about the same issue.

If you're new to this issue, see my post here with information about what we're trying to discover and isolate as the potential cause / issue:

We're keeping an eye on things and don't see any signs of problems.

Please keep us posted on how things are going for you.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one

It drove me nuts last night.
