Site is VERY slow loading

[wakjak]

It is taking multiple minutes for anything to load after clicking on links... just seeing if i'm the only one or if it's a known issue

[Michael Scrip]

The site was unbearably slow for me yesterday.  

But today it's... acceptable.

It still feels a little laggy though...

No issues for me...

I know it has been a few hours since the post was original made however, I have no issues with speed here

Central Ohio (USA)
Firefox Browser

Yeah, it's rather slow for me, too. But I never really cared about it. I thought it was just CloudFare acting up.

[Skyfrog]

It has been slow for me this week but tonight it is barely working.

Neowin has been slow for a looooooong time. It takes forever to open it after entering the website address and hitting enter.

It's been loading fine for me. I don't notice any slowness.

Takes me about 15 seconds to load this page.. This didn't use to happen earlier today.

[PUC_Snakeman]

I am noticing a significant slowdown. It was 10-15 seconds earlier, but now it's 5 seconds, which is still bad. It happens on every page/link.

Firefox F12 Network performance, shows that it might be a problem with:
js.php?src=core/interface/clipboard/clipboard.min.js&csrfKey=

See screenshot.

[PUC_Snakeman]

... and now it is already working better. Did you change anything, already?!

[Mindovermaster Global Moderator]

Was OK this morning, but got worse throughout the day.

Having experienced any slow pages at all anywhere at any time since this topic was started.

[PUC_Snakeman]

I am experiencing issues, again.

This time, Neowin:
1) took 30-35 seconds to load, and
2) seemed to have continuous requests even after loading. They just kept going and going, even as I took the screenshot.

See screenshot.

Just to clarify, is this on the forums or the main site pls, because we have two different advertisers (one for main news site, and a different one for the forums).

[PUC_Snakeman]

I don't remember. If the issue happens again, I will be sure to include that information.

The site will probably go down for good. I sense Mr Parker is not making enough coin.

Comments like these do make me question things, yeah.

It's good that you step back and question things now and then.
In your case my friend, what are you questioning?

Any of you who are experiencing slowdowns: What steps have you taken to rule out 1. Your ISP. 2. Flushdns 3. Clear browser cache 4. Extensions 5. Crashed tab

Noticed a serious slowdown last night and again today with a crashed tab for the first time in ages.  Firefox 148.0

We've been having some issues with botnets (spiking the site and causing slowdowns)

For the last hour or two, all I've gotten from Neowin is "The page is unresponsive" errors and haven't been able to load a single page, on 3 different PC's and my phone...

[SnoopZ]

I wasn't even able to finish loading a page last night.
