Anybody having issues, slow page loads, hang ups, etc.?

Other websites are fine, not my connection or browser.

 

[PMagers]

Yes, wonky

Was weird for the last couple of days. Seems fine now though.

 

[AuBassMan]

Yes....

 

[JMacBass65]

Well, you learn something new every day, didn't know there was a bug reports area.......

Working fine now. Was un-useable last night. This thread was the last thing I was able to do.

That's odd. How long did the wonkiness last?

 

[tuBass]

A couple of nights ago it was out for a good 15 minutes

Most of the night. I just upgraded to Windows 10 and am using Chrome and I thought something might have been up because of the new OS? Pictures would not load and page loads were very slow. I switched to my iPhone using the Chrome browser and it worked fine.

There was a definite overload of the webserver last night, the server techs went in and had to reboot it looks like. I'll look into it. Probably some rogue spider hitting the site too hard in the wee hours

I had issues approx. 30 minutes on both sides of the time I started the thread. After starting the thread, it got worse to the point of not working.

As I know this helps to know sometimes, Macbook Pro w/ using Safari. Also no luck on iPad w/ Safri.

Again, it's all good now.

BTW - What's a rouge spider?

Robots that crawl or "spider" web pages to index them. Google/Bing etc robots are on TalkBass all the time, and behave well. Some others (mainly from China IME), hammer the site with too many requests per second. This is just a guess, but I saw this happen once last month so it may be happening again.

Ah....interesting, thanks for the answer.

I know a lot, and then again, not much, about how all of this internet stuff works.
