Slow Loading


Recommended Posts

When I try to open main forums page, it takes like 20 seconds to load. When I go to different threads, it takes less time, like 15. Is there something up with the site, or is it just me... Ad loading issues, or whatnot?

Maybe due to the upgrade they are doing.

I doubt that. It's been this way for a few days now.

 

On ping, it just hangs. Using traceroute, it gets around 1500ms. To the different servers.

I've tracked down the issue, the upgrade at the weekend dropped a couple of indexes on the topic table - obviously not ones that IPB normally uses itself, but they do get used generating the mini-spy data at the top of the page. This was causing the queries that load the data for that area to take much longer than usual, and at times of heavy traffic, bog down the database completely. I've readded the indexes, and things seem to be getting back to normal now.

    • Simply the BEST email client I use it every single day . Phenomenal . It works with Gmail Aol for all out there to try it out !
    • It's been best practice for years to disable it anyway... TS disables 2.0, installs Pwsh 7.whatever
    • That's helpful, thanks. The key issue as I see it is that the issuer of the verification is still getting that request from WhateverNaughty.com, which immediately becomes a problem if this is a government issuer, etc. but it's a huge problem for any user with any issuer. I guess the solution, and maybe this goes without saying and I've missed it in your fine posts, is that the requester is also anonymized. That way, the issuer doesn't have a record of X person requested verification for Y website. And anyone who hacks that data is going to get precisely nothing. This only works is, as you say, this is a one-time challenge each time, and we all agree that no one is keeping/storing that data for any use anyway. After all, "is this person 18+ age" would only respond Yes/No, which is hardly actionable by anyone...as long as the asker only gets Yes/No and the Answerer doesn't know or care who's asking. :) Are both ends anonymized?
    • It definitely can be especially if you live in a dorm or frat/sorority house during your time in college. However, for many who live at home or in their own off campus residence and commute to classes it can be just about the classes. That is how it was for me. Except for classes, time in the library and some time in the student union mostly for eating and taking a break between classes, I was never on compus
