No, I'm getting it as well!

The site is currently experiencing high volume traffic and is slowing down a little.....should be back up to full steam shortly 🙂

 

Noticed pages were super slow to load over weekend

It should be okay now,  just loads of traffic at the weekend but settled down now

 

Saving messages are a bit slow. 

Still slow loading pages

Yep still slow on laptop and mobile for me 

Has been very slow for me since yesterday.

Super slow for me, running 55mbps internet so it's definitely not my end. 

Guys of course its slow -  There are more than 6 people on here and the site is just trying to keep us all socially distanced 😃

Not being funny but it's been slow on and off for weeks for me...seems like it's not just a high traffic weekend problem, but something else going on here.

It is definitely faster than the weekend but still not as fast as it should be.
I have been told it is a server issue where certain sites are scraping the site with Bots (lots of them) although the site is resilient it is exhausting the available workers which keep the site running smoothly. Once they clear off then the site refreshes and it speeds up again.
Steve is trying to find a way to completely block the Bots but as soon as you get rid of some, others take their place.

Looks like the battle of bots has finally been won....site should now be quick and no down time (fingers crossed)
