The site is running extremely slowly

[Capri to ST]

Sorry to report that the website has significantly slowed back down again. I'm on Google Fiber 1 gig internet, and I ran a speed test on speedtest.net at my current location, and I was getting over 650 megabits of download speed to my laptop.
All other websites that I look at have pages load up pretty much instantly, or at least within a second or two, on this website over the last couple days I have noticed pages or posts take over 10 seconds to load up, and a couple times it timed out and I got an error message.
Sorry to keep bugging you guys about this, but I figured you would want to know, and some things you did before seemed to help at least temporarily if not long-term. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the message and no worries it's no bother. I ran a couple of the usual scripts again. Hopefully that helped on your end.

Thanks, that seemed to do the trick, pages are loading up normally quickly now.
Whatever you did maybe you could consider doing as a regular maintenance item? Because otherwise it seems like the site keeps slowing down again.

Slow again.

Slow again.

Thanks, let me take a look. What browser are you using and desktop or mobile?

 

[Intuit]

Firefox, Desktop.
Cloudflare DNS.
Seems to be hit or miss.
Right now it's normal.

It was very slow for me earlier today. I’m using safari if it helps

We’ve been getting a lot of spam bots hitting the site.

Things seem much improved today; if anything was done. Windows on Firefox here.

Site has been slow this week again. Today it's absolutely crawling for me. No issues on other sites, and checked my router.

 

[Intuit]

Not just you. I've stopped complaining LoL.

 

[MKVIIST]

Been trying guys. I have Apache restarting on a daily basis to free up sessions.

 

[Nitelife]

Things are moving much better today. Thanks @MKVIIST

 

[Intuit]

Funny. Every thread I've tried to load has been slow... except this one just now. 🤔

@MKVIIST The site is running really slow for me again; at home and at work, with a mix of Chrome and Firefox use.

Let me take a look to see what's going on.

Made some adjustments to the caching, let me know if you see any improvements.

I have been getting some instances of error loading the site today at work (could just be a work internet issue; will try at home later). When I do get on to the site it is much better navigating around, so thanks!
