page load times

in H.Q. Reception Desk
I'm getting some gnarly page load times here. Upwards to 30+ seconds on some views of the page. I'm not sure it's related to my interwebs, most domestic webpages are loading fine.

Busting out the developer console in chrome shows me this when it happens:

However, I can immediately hit stop, then refresh, and the page will load fine. Go a few pages, and it happens again. Stop, refresh, loads fine.

@spool32 is having a similar issue to this one.

    I'm also getting slow load times, and it seems like most avatars aren't loading for me.

    I'll look into this but at first glance, the cluster is healthy.
    Avatars are coming off a globally distributed CDN used by a large chunk of the internets. If they're not loading that's probably on you.

    Traceroute isn't showing anything unusual either. I may take a look into this myself too, some lady did destroy the utility pole outside our office last week so it may still be related to that.

    I've been having long load times and odd forum behavior too. Pages will load part way down immediately but then freeze up for a bit.

    Most of it's bypassed by hitting F5.

    It's probably the new reaction

    Adds a lot of time to the server brocessing.

    this is exactly the situation I was having

    Almost certainly not my internet either, as I've got both a set of three bonded T1s or a 50x5 business cable internet connection to choose from.

    That could be bro.

    It's happening on the main forum pages and pages without reactions. I guess bros gotta bro though.

    That screenshot you showed though Bowen... it was not a 30 second load time. You see that right? It was < 2 sec

  • bowenbowen Sup? Registered User regular
    Hmm why did I take a picture of the top

    My apologies, it was a long day, I'll try to capture it from the bottom next time (which should show the load time too).

    Also it seems to have disappeared roughly around 9:30 this morning.

    Currently doing exactly what I mentioned... D&D chat is spinning and spinning, with the page seemingly cut off. Took about 15s or so, then gave up without loading the entire page.

    Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing, with ctrl-shift-j open and the network tab loaded. The part citcled in red is where the page stopped loading... it's part of my signature, but not all of it. There are about a dozen posts after this one, but none of them appeared.

    Got this too, pending on a ton of PA stuff, the CDN is getting it too. Traceroute still shows up normal on my end to the forum.

    Woo, it got really bad there for a bit. Took three refreshes to load this page, and sometimes icons like the inbox and reactions aren't drawing... or even more oddly, only drawing partway.

  • QuidQuid Definitely not a banana Registered User regular
    I don't know if anything's been done but this has stopped for me for the last couple of days.

  • bowenbowen Sup? Registered User regular
    Yeah yesterday was good for me, we'll see how today is!
