Is it just me, or has the site been randomly slowing down.
I can load other pages fine but HLP seems to a lot longer to load than it actually should sometimes...
-
Yeah, I get this too. Same with Game Warden.
-
It isn't just HLP for me. Several sites are giving me major problems, including Wikipedia, while no local sites are slow. So I'm guessing some backbone router died somewhere, and what we're seeing is congestion.
-
For me it's only HLP/GW and it's only during the day. Speed is fine at night. This is 4 days in a row it is taking about 45 seconds per page load. It loads so slow it you can see it draw the tiny icons that indicate new posts.
I tried some tracerts and there is no slow down getting to the server it seems to be an issue with the server itself or the database being slow.
-
Likewise, except it occurs at night too.
-
Yeah, it would seem I was wrong about it being congestion. The other sites which were giving me trouble have all cleared up by now, but HLP - while faster now than it was - is still noticably slower than the norm.
-
It's the IP's! We're running out of them! The internet as we know it is slowly dying :shaking:
-
I've been having the same issue. HLP is loading much slower as of late.
-
Yup, other sites seem to be ok again. It's only HLP which is so slow. :(
-
My Internet has slowed down considerably recently, but HLP is possibly the slowest of all.
-
I'm getting it as well, here and on GW. Since they're on the same server, I guess the issue is somewhere in there.
-
This is getting sort of intolerable. Really harshing my experience.
-
Chiming in as well - it's been so bad over the last few days I thought I'd check and see if someone had already made a thread about it, and sure enough....
Does the web server just need a good kick in the head or something?

Could this somehow relate to the bunch of projects we hosted recently? If they all received FTP and SVN access, then no wonder HLP is overburdened.
-
It seems to be getting worse lately.

Stellar Assault has its own SVN, for one, and actually I don't think HLP hosts any SVN at all, just FTP. I'm...not sure the relatively limited amount of bandwidth these projects use is really enough to slow things down.
-
I didn't notice it at first, but lately it has gotten noticablely slower here, even when every other site works fine.
-
Not all the projects which were recently hosted received FTP access, and those that have haven't set up their sites yet.
-
I think this problem is starting to get worse. I was barely able to get the site to load earlier today.
-
Same for me. And it's only this site. And I also doubt it has something to do with hosted projects, because the slowdowns apeared from one day to the next, before I had no problems at all. Just for a few days now :(
-
I'm getting it too; thought it was the net in general but it seems to be HLP most notably. Forgive my paranoia, but could it be some kind of Dinal-of-service attack or something like that? There's a lot of 'guests' online at the moment (66 when i last looked), could it be to do with that? That probably sounds really silly but i have no idea about that sort of thing so i wouldn't know.
-
The are always quite a few guests on line. Some are just people with accounts that didn't bother to login, others are actual guests.
-
I have to say I've been getting this as well, for a while now.
It got pretty annoying today, 45 seconds or so to load a page here and in GW :(
-
This would be a prime opportunity for our new tech admin to show his stuff. However, we're still not sure if he will actually be our new tech admin yet. ;) Please continue to stand by.
-
I did a few minor tweaks to Apache and MySQL (unrelated to the slowdown problems though) and rebooted the server. Hopefully that helps some.
I lent a hand because this slowdown started to piss me off too.
-
It's definitely better. :yes:
-
Indeed, it now works much better, nearly as normal :yes:
-
That does seem to have helped a lot. Thanks Fury.
-
Fury, you're a fairy.
-
Much better :)
-
That did the trick. Thanks Fury.
-
Much better indeed, here as well as on GW. I bet the server reboot did the trick, gj Fury :)
So HLP admins can actually reboot the server it's on? Remotely?
-
Fury can I be your friend?
-
Yes, it works better, thanks.

Oh, looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. My internet connection switched to Gastropod mode in the past few days.

Are you insinuating something, mister?

Well, a gastropod is still faster than a jeffvader.

Indeed. :cool:
