Site is slow..

I can't comment or rate anything much of the time. Pics often take up to a min to load. Is this site crashing?

BongSquad rough website behaviour has been going on for three weeks I estimate.
Western world is part of a weird WW3 -add climate phenomena and disasters, post-pandemic stuff and riots against oppressive regimes or civil wars, tough times.
I quoted to promote the conversation. or maybe Diz tries new magic, yes weird behaviour. but tough times.

I've had the same problem. When it freezes I just refresh, then cancel the refresh, then wait about 30 seconds and it's helped a bit. I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem too, I guess so. It makes since though, when you have as big as a server as this, it's bound to happen. Especially since the people who made this site were nice enough to make it all free. It's bound to happen with anything with a lot of people

i have the same problem too

I'm having the issue as well. I tried to open a feedback topic regarding the issue earlier today. I couldn't because the site kept timing out.

Yes I had the same problem on Saturday, had to keep logging off and then back on. Voting and comments very hit and miss too.

same issues here since friday night not any better on saturday hit refresh alot

Rather no, also there are many different factors affecting the availability of an http service.
If you are curious enough, you can get to know some of them by reading Diz-X's statements in the discussion "Bye Bye".

Same here , started Friday and still not up to normal

Ive been having the same issue for a few days now

I've been having slow loading of pictures and forums for at least several weeks, too. Other websites fast, WBW slow.

Works fine for me

Very, very slow

Working good now with M/S Edge.

Yup, back up and running well

Working fine for me.

very, very slow for me today

Having the issue as well. It started about 4 hours ago. It was fine before that.

The site seems to be working fine now.
