Site running abnormally slow

[juraijin1]

The site has been running abnormally slow for the whole week, particularly when loading pics. Is there any fix for that?

 

[Rifleshot]

I've had the same issue, all other sites are working just fine except this one. Everything feels painfully slow despite me having excellent internet.

 

[juraijin1]

Same deal as me, excellent internet and no other issues with loading other sites, pics or vids. I wonder if it is an optimization issues on the server end?

I've had the same issue. Occasionally long pages might take up to 30 seconds to fully load. Sometimes pages quit loading half way and I'll have to reload.

Images also load extremely slowly. I've taken to clicking the invisible few pixels representing the unloaded image to pull up the image browser, and manually downloading it.

Took a full minute to get the Post Box to be ready. 30 seconds for this Page. Been happening since last month for me, thought it might have had something to do with the bot swarm or my side again. Sometimes I need to close and reopen Spoiler Tabs to get Images to even start Loading. Usually they can take up to half an hour. My Alerts have trouble opening and clicking the Alert Bell sometimes sends to the Alert Page from how long it takes to Load if I do it too soon after the Load.

I've had it slow down enough to freeze the browser on my phone sometimes. I have to restart the whole app to fix it as it locks it up totally.

Can confirm this is happening to me as well, and only on this site. I have to refresh when it gets stuck loading forever, which usually makes the page load.

To offer perspective from the other side of curtain
QQ on both phone and desktop working as usual, absolutely no slowing even when there's multiple pics per page, alerts work wothlut issues, videos load without issue, and the reply box is instaresponsive

I'm not familiar with web architecture, so..could it be a regional issue, somehow?
Or specific browser issue? (Using firefox myself if its relevant)

You guys experienced only slow connection? I wasn't able to connect to the site itself!

[Datapoint] No issues detected here and now from me.

 

[Beetlebrox]

It comes and goes for me. One minute it is going slow and the next it is working fine until it goes slow a few minutes later.

 

[Legrio]

I had pages fail to load a few times over the past few days.

 

[Starseeker]

The speed is only marginally slower, but every time I try to open a page (without being on the site already) it just stops loading immediately. Second attempt is always successful, but still very strange.

This happened to me yesterday but it now works perfectly fine

Maybe the 20k "guests" earlier borked something?

I'm now noticing SB and SV are having stutter issues about once every 4-6 hours now as well. It's doing it on Chrome, FireFox, and Internet Explorer. It's doing in on 3 types of Android phones, the Apple16 a friend has, and the computers at the local library. Checked with a few friends on the other side of the US and they are having the same basic issues but only on either phones or PCs (1 with every phone they tried and 3 with only their PCs.) I tired like 400+ other sites and have had no similar issues as to what QQ, SB, and SV are even the main Xeno website are doing.

I think this is it. I had a lot of troubles those days when the bots came rampaging in. It's almost entirely cleared up now but I still got the occasional slowing. Pics are still a half-problem but they also take more data so that could be it.

Pages return a blank screen. It briefly loads the page, then gives nothing. Reloading fixes the issue. This includes previously loaded pages when I change tabs, so might be a caching issue.

Using chrome on an android.

Had this same exact issue several times today, also on chrome/android.

 

[Limerick]

Very good to know it's not just me. It does come and go, but I've certainly noticed the site being significantly slower than usual at times. The thing that got me to check if there's a forum post was when I ran into a 502 error on two threads, though it cleared up after a minute with a refresh.
I'm on firefox, though as this seems to not be isolated to any particular browser or other setup I'm not sure that information helps that much.

 

[FTR2017]

So the site is under a DDOS attack?

I haven't noticed any difference in performance, then again my potatoPC is kind of slow and outdated, so no pics load unless I click on them.

Which ... fair, it is business as usual.

Perhaps clients with better specs than the server get screwed up but those who are within the server specs do better in compatibility terms? I dunno.

According to one of the admins, the server load looks fine and normal, and the staff are seeing mostly normal behavior. To me, it sorta feels like some sort of general network issue somewhere in the path some chunk of the userbase takes to get to QQ.

I'm in the same boat as you all, it's nice to know we're suffering together.

From California, I'm experiencing loading issues as well

Small update after some testing: I'm only seeing the issue on my smartphone, and switching to the desktop seems to resolve the issue although that's hard to confirm due to the random occurrence.

Does anyone have the same issue on a pc?

Yup. It's not platform-dependent, but it might be internet provider nonsense or who knows what. So far we've had plenty of people mention various browsers, phone and desktop, and we've got the mod confirming that it's not the QQ servers. Shit be wack yo.
