Investigating BYC Being Slow

[BuffOrps32]

I've moved this thread to the correct section.

Thank you

The peeps that are experiencing the problem: Is it all area of the site and all the time, or just when you're doing certain things (like posting) and/or in certain areas?

It comes and goes, sometimes a page will load quickly, and other times it'll take over a minute.

BYC has been slow, and getting stuck for me too. I have to close it out half the time because I can't load a new page. Other websites are just fine, btw, so it's not my internet. I thought it was just because my PFM (premium feather membership that I won in a contest) ran out, and now there are ads. But maybe it's more than that.
To answer these questions

1. What exactly were you doing (browsing an article. posting to a thread, etc.)?
2. Instead of saying "the page loaded slow" please provide details like "I hit refresh and it took about 15 seconds for the page to load"
3. What browser / version are you on?
4. Have you tried clearing your browser cache / history of files:

1--Everything I do on BYC is slow, reading threads, trying to go to next page of a thread, clicking 'like', even opening the website.
2. It regularly gets stuck and the rainbow ball just spins, so I have to close it out.
3. I am using Safari version 11.0.2
4.Yes cleared history. No change in BYC. And as I said, all other websites, like Facebook, Youtube, etc are fine, no slowdowns.

. I keep getting a notice that the server isn't responding

Can you provide a screenshot, or a copy of the exact text that is in the message?

Maybe people without the Feathers membership are having trouble because of the pop ups?

I have ads turned on and running, and I'm not having any performance problems or slowness, so I don't think it's related to the advertising.

It hasn't been happening as much for me recently.

Oddly it has been alright for me today too. It still takes a few seconds longer to load than usual but it is not unbearably slow today.

This is me. Ignore it please.

Okay, thanks for the reply. Going forward I will just assume it's you unless I get them for an extended period of time.

Nothing else I can do, just need to let Cloudflare fix the issue. I'm off to bed, as it's gone midnight.

Don't let the BYC bed bugs bite.

Thanks Matt.

The site is not working properly. it tries to load alerts or other pages and the bar just keeps spinning. I thought this issue was fixed the other day and now its back. Wont let me edit posts ,change pages or show any alerts . I looked for a thread similar to this but didnt know which one it was.

I have been having the same trouble for the past 2 days. Pages just sit there and don't load. I thought it was my middle of nowhere connection or possiblely old phone. My current Chrome Version is 72.0.3626.121 Android 6.0.1 operating system.

The best thing we can do is to isolate patterns

It's consistently inconsistent.
Does that help?
JK, Sorry.
