It came up dreadfully slowly for me just a moment ago. I wonder if some AI LLM (Large Language Model) bot is doing a full scan of the site, having just read an article about the depth of that particular problem.

It has been indeed and a ticket was submitted several hours ago to our server host. Apparently they have been doing some work at their end but no definite answer given. I have been impacted as well. The first time I tried to submit a ticket I was unable to ping the website of our server host to even submit the ticket. I spoke to Julian who resides in France and it impacted him as well. He was able to access our server via Cpanel and he rebooted our server. This seems to have rectified matters but we are keenly aware. Thanks to all for sharing your thoughts

here is what Julian has found.........our server was down 3 times today for 10 minutes each time, according to UpTime Robot, so he is thinking it is our server host and not a Xenforo issue.

crazy slow today.....i'm sure no surprise.

2-3 minutes to load a page.

Slow for me too.....

 

[Steve Williams]

Me too……again

 

[Steve Williams]

I’m looking into it

 

[Steve Williams]

We’re going to restart the server. It might go down for a few minutes

Server restart at my end has solved the problem. Has it helped everyone else

 

[Steve Williams]

Things are fine now at my end. What say everyone else who noticed slowing earlier

 

[treitz3]

It is back to normal on my end, FWIW.
