Thanks, yeah we've been having some issues with the Cloudfare firewall. Looks better today.

Thanks @Intuit , does this happen when you first visit the site or making a post?

Yesterday it was slow just browsing the site or checking notifications... I assumed it was just cloudflare like usual

Most of the time, it is Cloudflare being overzealous and blocking traffic that it thinks is attacking the site when someone clicks too quickly on a button.

I've only gotten the message when viewing. If I try to submit a post during this problematic period, it just cycles and never gives indication of successful submission. I did have to delete a psuedo duplicate post. I only say "psuedo" because the photo attachment was excluded from the dupe.

Site is extremely laggy, sluggish right now.

Are you using a VPN? When I use mine, it just crawls😩😩

 

[Intuit]

There's no use case for VPN on my home network.
This is the only site that has an issue.
It cycles through the other servers quite rapidly but constantly goes back to stalling on "Waiting for www.fiestastforum.com..." (image below)...

It's slow here too, and don't use a VPN

 

[MKVIIST]

Weird never seen that waiting message before. Let me clear out the server cache,

I just clicked on this thread and it took almost 20 seconds to load. This is on a desktop computer with a wired ethernet connection to the router, my ISP is Google Fiber 1 gig. I checked a thread on another car site and it loaded in less than a second.
