Slightly better today?
I have rate limited the search engine bots and also banned Baidu's bots as they kept visiting from many different IPs and creating lots and lots of sessions too.
Can't say I've noticed any slowness in the last day or so, so yes, better. Bravo, as far as I'm concerned!
Definitely less slow, yeah. Not as nippy as it used to be but better than it's been for a week or two.
The slowness was the 'waiting for tehforum.co.uk to respond' bit. Once it got round to responding the page loaded fast.
Maybe just a wee bit faster but not much for me.
It seemed to be pretty fast (not as quick as usual) yesterday until 10-11pm.
Not too bad at the moment for me.
Pretty sluggish for me this morning.
It's gone slow again, loading threads and stuff. Is it maybe related to the attachment/profile trouble that seems to be happening?
It seemed slow at work today but it's nice and quick on lite mode on my phone on a moving tram.
Not related to the attachments, that's just the permissions I messed up.
I think it's just the number of visitors we get. A lot of them are filling up the admin log with ban reports from Beehive's StopForumSpam integration, but that is cached for 24 hours so shouldn't be a problem. Maybe.
Seems pretty nippy right now, like right now.
