Is anyone else experiencing hyper-lag?

[GuerrillaMonsoon]

Yep - especially so on the mobile version for whatever reason.

[Raziel]

For whatever reason, CloudFlare's load balancer likes to change the route to the board and send it through Europe so for most US people, the route jumps the Trans-Atlantic line twice.  There also happens to be a bottleneck on that route somewhere that throttles the traffic so that's our latency.  Who decided to route a server sitting in a Data Center in Colorado through Germany, I don't know.

I am assuming it is the person who wants me to pay for CloudFlare's premium services

I noticed today I am getting political ads up top,but oddly, for PA not Md. 

[odessasteps]

The ad i just got at the top of the page?

a political ad (labeled as such) that said “god bless President [redacted[“

So is this an issue for anyone else again? Not terribly bad on my laptop, maybe a minute or two - but it's especially slow to load on my iPhone.

Yes. I'm on desktop, running Windows 10 and using the latest FireFox, and my gods it's been awful since early this morning.

Is it way slow for anyone else, or is it the 1,000+ tabs I have open?

It's moving slow for me too. Both on desktop and on mobile.

[Eoae]

Actually, speed seems back to normal for me today, but it's been laggy for the past four days or so.  Particularly when I tried to go from the forum index into one of the sub-forums.

[odessasteps]

Seems to vary by time of day. Its often not that bad US overnight.

[BrianS81177]

Maybe it's just my network, but the mobile version has been loading super slow for me the past couple days.

Mobile and desktop version of the board have been laggy for me for a couple weeks now.  Not every time, but more often than not.

[Shartnado]

I use tablet to browse most of the time at home. Mobile ever so often, but both have been so slow for a good while now, I'm about to lose my shit. Not like I've had the time to read anything at work, anyways, but especially not if loading a page takes half the time I take to eat my lunch (which takes about 15 minutes, tops, but still). I understand my phone is ancient, so slow goes with the territory, but trying to read this board at home is becoming quite irritating. Funnily enough, replying seems to work just fine.

[username]

Yeah the site has been almost unusably slow for the past few days.

[Technico Support]

Same here.  Everything is really slow.

[hammerva]

I personally blame the Finchers and that Bugsy McGraw looking guy dancing the beginning of it.   He looks laggy 

 

[RIPPA]

Yeah - unless one of you wants to be our Saudi Prince - there are going to be periods of time where our traffic is routed across the globe

[BrianS81177]

It just so happens Rippa I received an email with a special investment offer from a Nigerian prince. Maybe that would solve everything?

[Death From Above]

That son of a bitch in Nigeria owes me seven million dollars

Hyper lag back? It took me 5 minutes to get to this topic.
