...well, from India: cannot open site. Cannot find server. Tried a bazillion times. From iPhone and Windows laptop. Probably a DNS issue of some sort, but clearing cache did not resolve. For a few times, I could get a page link on Slack to resolve. Thought I had a workaround, but next time: nope.
From home (upstate NY) it's often slow in the morning, and sometimes freezes. Only instantiating a new browser will resolve the issue.
I am looking into this, but it seems inconsistent. It could be time dependant i.e when the bulk of the USA members go on the site. I see no issues for me in the EU zone. The adverts are tiny files, they are not affecting it. I is more the amount of members on the site at once, so a database load / speed subject. I will report back.
I see the are getting 1.3K 'floater' regularly as opposed to 500, this is good news, but will suck power off the server.
I am asking our service provider for a solution. We are already paying 4 times the cost from 2019. I am convinced it is bandwidth, amount of floater on at one time, and database load. It is NOT the adverts, and not the pics in posts either IMO. It is the amount of traffic we are getting now.
...you guys will have traffic reports for the analysis, but generally, slowness is a morning east-coast US occurrence for me. Often (50/50?) the latency results in a non-functioning/non-navigable page. I have to close the browser and re-instantiate by entering "whatsbest..." in a new browser/address bar.
This isn't end-of-the-world level frustration, just regular frustration. In the modern world, one wants what one wants, when one wants it. Occasionally, the universe asserts its own interpretation of that desire.
We are aware of all of this and please stay tuned for an important announcement that will soon solve all of these issues. We ask for your patience as we have been working on this for a month. An announcement will be made in the next day or do. Suffice it to say we are on top of it and a solution is on the way
