I tried a vpn connection through Sydney and am still seeing the issue. 

It has been fine on the general site but as of this morning the forums are slow as described by others.

Actually, just a a 503 Bad Gateway a few minutes ago, once the site did load the Community Activity feed took a few seconds longer to load than normal.

Hopefully it's not an expensive problem, like a server dying.

Seems to be faster now. Problem could be either of those two processes..

Edit: Seems to go to a page every ~3 seconds instead of ~6..

I think disabling the front page community forum feed has something to do with it, just hope they bring it when it's fixed as I only use that.

Well, as said above, they're on it.

Wasn't that the case a number of years ago just prior to the upgrade to ipb3?

Dave is most qualified to answer that.

I've re-enabled the community activity in the sidebar, and spy on the forums for members now

[DaveLegg Developer]

Re-enabled for all now, will keep monitoring. May need to disable for guests again if the issue returns while I do further investigation

I'm seeing a huge improvement here, not sure if it's normal speed but it's pretty good.

[DaveLegg Developer]

I think I've now managed to resolve the root cause of the issue, speed should be back to normal

[Mindovermaster Global Moderator]

I still get 5 second delay..

[Steven P. Administrators]

There's a slight delay, but not like yesterday or before it. Dave has said he's monitoring the issue.

Seems to be better now.. What happened @DaveLegg?

One of our servers had a midlife crisis, and a web server became haunted.

One could say it became conservative?

This has to be one of your stupidest comments.

Given how many tech site users employ ad blocking it doesn't sound a bad idea to maybe once a year run a revenue drive. A few tech sites do it so why not Neowin? You're not forced to donate if you don't want to.

I’m sure Neowin is making bank off of grey market keys. 

[forster]

Hmmm. This seems to be going on for a while, maybe @Warwagonis to blame. He looks a shifty sort.

I think our slowness waned onto YT..

They are running slower than usual.
