Quite often recently, and pretty much every time I’ve hit the site afresh today, the server has been super slow to respond.
Are others are seeing it too, or just me?
If the servers are struggling, I’m wondering whether there’s a known forum performance bug(s) which might be fixed in a new version; or if the forum has really outgrown its server size and could use an upgrade; or maybe it’s more network-related? Or something else?
I also have the slight impression that the forum software expects users to only open one tab and just click around in that, whereas I generally open a new tab for each thread I want to read. I haven’t done any profiling, but it feels like a full page load entails an enormous amount of effort, and I’m often wondering whether it’s front-loading a crazy amount of stuff for maybe-dubious benefits.
