The site is running extremely slowly

[Intuit]

Had about 36 hours where I could not log in due to a Cloudflare error and/or my IP Address being banned. Just posting this to update the staff, not trying to complain, we've all got a lot going on.

Don't know about the time frame, but it wasn't just you. Got this July 1st about 2100 hours EDT.

Yeah I’ve been working on fixing the issue since yesterday. Apparently there were tons of bots hitting the site yesterday which basically overloaded the database.

The Cloudflare thing seems to have helped. It can require some tweaking as I have seen on the miata.net forum.

Everything is noticeably snappier today

Yep, site loads more like every other site now. I have been greeted by a passive test that stays up for a split-second but not every time.

Curious about the size of the db, hardware specs on the server. Storage prices have increased while RAM prices unfortunately are insane; should be shipped by armored truck.
