Performance

Post by Matty »

Anyone else finding the forum incredibly slow? It was last night, but was fine this morning when I was at work, but very slow again this evening...not sure if it's just my side.

I've noticed some weird requests coming through from various locations which I've blocked...not sure if it's related or not.

Yeah, I'm finding exactly the same, with frequent time out errors.

Seems fully back to speed this morning? :)

Yeah, no idea what was going on. Suspect it was at the hosts end. Either way, all good 8-)

@Matty is there something going on? Forum is really slow, taking 5-10 seconds or longer to load a page.

Tried on WiFi and mobile, no difference.

Should be better now - another DDOS from our friends in Singapore. At least, thats the source address from where it's coming from. I'll check the logs again tomorrow in case I've missed some ranges.

Was poor late last night and this morning. I assumed it was our foreign friends scraping all of our data again (if they're using it for AI training again, we're gonna end up with a very "special" AI). However....seems fine again now.

Checked, and one again it is our friends from Singapore. I've essentially blocked a massive IP range from there now. So if you're planning a holiday over there, you may need to make plans without access to OV9, as hard as that may be.
