Anyone seeing this issue?

Browsing things is painful as of June 28, and hasn't become any better today.

It took about 15 refresh and waiting for response cycles to get here, to post my reply....

Well, at least I know it's not just me having problems. Perhaps the webhost is getting a DDOS attack or something?

Can Confirm, painfully slow. I would have posted earlier but it was too slow, appears to be better now for me.

I agree; it's a bit better now. But it's still hit and miss. Might get a page back on the first click, or might take a dozen or so refresh to get the page.

Yeah, I reported it to my hosting provider about 6 hours ago. They have confirmed the problem and we're looking into it

Cool....

Hard to tell sometimes about where the issue is. It might be the webserver or might be on the back-end database server.

I think it was likely something on this particular server. I have another VPS with the same provider that is on a different physical host and it has been running fine.

Seems a lot better now, I'll check their ticket when I actually get up and see what happened
