I think your brain is just moving at light speed. Everything around you seems to slow down.
 
It's running really slow this morning. I'd say 5-10 second load times on some clicks?
Perhaps it's about time we do another PoA fundraiser so we can buy more hamsters/new hamster-wheel to power the webserver? :)
 
Site was super sluggish around 10 min ago. Landing on the home page took ~10 sec, getting a list of new posts took ~20 sec, and opening the first 3 threads took about 15-30 sec each.

By the time I finished reading the new posts on those threads, site performance had returned to normal. Only reporting it here as a data point in case it's intermittent / recurring. Otherwise, disregard.
 
Bad for me too. Unfortunately I'm not smart enough to understand the causes or what fix there is if any.
 
Something is hitting us hard. Tons of HTTP server processes and the database are through the roof (95 load average).
 
Slow here too this morning... DOS attack?
 
There seems to have been some bots beating against us trying to register accounts. They were all getting hung up in the captcha as near as I can tell. I banned the IP addresses they were coming from for the time being.
 
I just got on. There was a few seconds of lag, but no big deal.

Once I was in, it all seems good.
 
Glacial, and it also looks like some threads are loading from old cache and not showing the most recent posts.
 
I didn’t time it but my load was much more than 10 seconds just now. 11:15 CST.
 
Site was fast until a moment ago when I clicked on this thread and had to wait a noticeable amount of time before i could read the new posts.
 
I turned off guest access for a few minutes and that seems to have scared off some of the load.
 
slight delay looking at Alerts but not a big deal.
 
We are seeing high loads. I'm still trying to see if we have just exceeded the server capacity or there is something else wrong.

Here's Grok's analysis:

The most likely cause is an OpenSSL or cURL incompatibility on your EC2 instance, triggered by a quiet update to recaptcha.net’s TLS settings yesterday. AWS’s network stability makes an outage less likely, and the XenForo upgrade check error reinforces it’s an outbound SSL issue, not just ReCAPTCHA. Updating your server’s SSL stack should resolve it.

I don't know what most of that means :biggrin: That's what it came up with after answering a few questions and showing it the server error log. Without access to the server (which is absolutely as it should be, because I'd screw with it and probably break it) that's all I can do.
 
I’ll take a look. I just need Jim k’s password, although I’m pretty sure it’s something like AOGio540_123.
 
Right now I’d give PoA performance a 7 1/2 on a scale of 4 to 33 1/3.
 
Things are running quite slow.
Earlier this morning I was getting database errors, which I can't remember having gotten before.
