forum is really really S - L - O - W---maintenance going on?

[Mike Lavigne]

been slow lately, but today it's glacial.....

some sort of maintenance going on?

all other sites i go to are lightning fast.....and yes, i'm using Chrome.

 

[Rhapsody]

AGREED. It's been like that since last night over here.

 

[Steve Williams]

It’s been going on for 2-3 days. I’ve submitted a ticket but wonder if it is due to everyone being on their computers.

maybe it's your network

thank you for submitting the ticket. but no other sites i view have any speed problem at all in my experience.

maybe it's your network

i'm sure that my network has singled out WBF to slow to a crawl and boosted all the rest to hyper speed.

Keep proper social distance there Steve. And don’t forget to wear gloves.

Mike, this is normal, and it's going to get slower as we go.
And it's happening on many other sites too.
And it's happening on streaming too.

We live in a pandemic, so the Internet is very busy and many workers work from homes now.
Do the math. Plus some news outfits, TV channels, streaming channels are on the same boat.
Plus Google needs more bandwidth for important public recommendations during Corona critical boiling point.

Plus plus plus plus ... just Google it ... it's everywhere real slow ...

So yes, you are correct...it is also ...slow...here...very normal with what we are living right now.
I wouldn't sweat it...this is very small stuff compared to much slower things to come.

Some examples ...
• https://www.mystateline.com/health/...streaming-to-stop-the-internet-from-breaking/

• https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/technology/coronavirus-working-from-home-internet.html

• https://fortune.com/2020/03/20/coronavirus-slow-internet-broadband/

• https://www.clickondetroit.com/news...ome-leads-to-slower-speeds-connection-issues/

With Coronavirus pandemic all of this is very normal.
Just wait another eight days or so, it's going to get even slower.

Confirmed. Slow, slow. Not only WBF...
Agree with North star, I suppose that all of us confined at home (especially here in Northwest Italy) are stressing the entire web.
It's a sort of test bench for central modems and fiber cables!

If so, it would be happening with the other websites I visit but it is not.

 

[Steve Williams]

Perhaps their web sites are not as busy and less frequented than ours

 

[Steve Williams]

They have been working on this ticket for 2 days so my guess is as good as everyone else

 

[Steve Williams]

I'm noticing over the last half hour that it seems to be quicker but not where we would expect it to be

 

[treitz3]

FWIW, Steve......and in no way am I complaining, just reporting.....it took about 10 or so seconds to click onto this thread. I do agree with you in that it's probably because of the increased traffic. The other sites I frequent do not seem to have this issue.

Hope all is well in Steveland.

Tom

 

[Steve Williams]

yes, I agree Tom

clicking onto threads is the slowest as well as clicking the buttons above the NavBar

Pinging the site is not an issue for me. Rather it is opening threads within the site.

. I have yet to get any response from them yet

 

[NorthStar]

Probably Steve.

 

[Steve Williams]

AFAIK "all"of the major ISP's are offering no charge upgraded internet speeds if you tell them you are working from home and your internet speed is too slow as a result of all of the traffic

 

[NorthStar]

You must be visiting sites with very low traffic, Kal.
