It's always been slow on my phone. All other sites are fine. I guess it's been worse than the usual slow the past 24 hrs or so yes.

Slow on phone and PC running Win10 on Chrome browser, been like it over 24 hours here.

Lightning fast here, using an old WinXP machine, running an old Firefox version (though it's the latest in terms of compatibility with the OS).

Been a bit slow at times for me tonight, but seems ok just now.
Probably just a glitch in the matrix.

Same here. Lightning fast. I am.hotspotting off my wife's Huawi phone which is on EE network.

Definitely a problem.
When I click on a link sometimes it’s instant, sometimes it takes 5-10 seconds to respond, and sometimes it never completes and I have to refresh the page.

Same on PC and phone (unsurprisingly) and only been an issue tonight.

 

[Turbo]

Running ok now.

 

[badabec]

Running slow again this morning.

 

[Bullet2012]

extremely slowly for me as well

Traffic looks low today so there is something going on. Can't see what it is though. Database looks OK, I've restarted the site. Might be a DNS problem or some maintenance going on somewhere. If it's still bad tomorrow I'll talk to the host.

Being crawled by an AI bot perhaps?

Forum postings end up in Bing search results surprisingly soon after they've been made. I mean sometimes minutes after!! mig-welding.co.uk may be flagged by the search engines as a source of high quality and reliable information, so maybe they crawl it quite often. .

That would show in the logs as high CPU or long response rates.
I suspect DNS or a gateway is the issue as, if the logs are ok, it's more likely the requests are either not getting to the forum or are taking a long time to get there.
