site delay

[cuda hunter]

Just getting home from work.  It's working fast as can be now. 
No issues.
Usually when we all complain about it suddenly the site is back to a normal site again.

Wonder what all that is about.

I find it's terrible mostly in the mornings and good enough at night.

Maybe it's budget hosting, but it's free to us to use.  If you guys whine too much, the only recourse may be to charge admission or shut it down.  Go easy, now.

I'd be willing to contribute.

There must be something slowing it. All the other free forums I frequent are much quicker. This has become much more apparent in the last number of weeks

Pointing out that the problem seems to be getting worse is not "whining", or when it's at its worse. Perhaps you're just lucky and log on when it's more tolerable. The administrators need to realize that access is getting increasingly difficult or during when. That information may be useful in addressing the situation.

I'd hate to see this site go the way of CC.com. I've already noticed that other forums, without access delays, have more postings for the save given time period than here. Lack of participation will kill this site and it seems to going in that direction.

On a side note. When trying to get on last night, with my iPad5 (new to me) a few times it blanked out the e-bodies page with the message "site is unresponsive".

It has been bad as of late.  Sometimes I get a page saying server not available after waiting a couple minutes for the site to load.
Other times it works just fine.  No rhyme or reason to it. 
If I'm having trouble, I give up an try later then it is fine. I can see that others might not have as much patience as me and just give up on this site though.

As an example: Today at 10:34am - "Safari couldn't open the page because the server stopped responding". Then at 10:50am - warp 10 or like doing the Kessel run in 12 parsecs.

Super fast at this moment.  This morning it took like 15 minutes to load.

The delay is really bad.

So bad I rarely surf site via phone and use desk top instead. 

When using desktop, I click on a thread here, and while it struggles with delay, I open another tab and surf something else waiting for this site to lock in. Then one by one pickoff the threads I want to read while I dual surf other site.

I do the same. Its been really bad the last few days, I had typed out a couple replies but couldn't send them it was so slow.

I use Microsoft Edge (laptop) and although it is slow lately its nothing like some are reporting. I takes roughly 15-20 seconds to refresh the "unread topics" section. To open a topic, it is rarely more than 15 seconds. It has sometimes taken longer but not very frequently.

When this was an issue before someone sugested using a spam filter, with uBlock Origin being the consensus. So I have that installed, not sure if it helps or not but maybe.

PS: it literally just took less than 1 second to post this comment, and about 2 seconds to reopen/edit it with this comment.

I rarely can get on in the mornings, the main site comes up ok some times but going to a topic is next to deadly boring it takes for ever to load, so I usually give up and try later.
In the late afternoon or evening( PST here on the west coast) it is usually ok sometimes slower that others, very frustrating, it's the slowest site I visit.

Super fast right now.  Actually faster than the for only sites.  Hope it stays like that!!

Same here, I am almost always on my desk top so have multiple tabs open and can be on the other ones as I wait for this one to load. Site loaded quick this morning but took 10-15 seconds for the reply page to open, much faster than it has been but still slow.
