Resolved! Website is taking 30 seconds+ to load, sporadically.

It’s not constant, but as an example it took me 1+ minutes to get to this page to write this post.

Same here, I noticed it yesterday and thought perhaps it was an issue on my mini iPad but other sites are working just fine.

Sites about as slow as I was getting up on Boxing Day 🥴

Hi Folks
I've sent Paulo/Tim a message regarding these on going issues!

Seems to be an issue with the hosting, I have raised a ticket for them to take a look.

Let me know if you need any help - whether diagnosing or interpreting their responses. Hosting and technology are what I do!

Out of interest are you all using an iPhone when experiencing this?

I’ve had this same issue for a couple of weeks now, but just assumed it was only me.

It happens to me on my iPhone and also on my Mac. In my case, the common denominator is Apple.

It would be good to confirm whether it's just Apple users or not - but I suspect this is a problem at the host level and impacting all users.

Hi all,

Indeed, I'm experiencing the same issues on the Android platform.

Regards

I’ve checked on iOS, macOS, Ubuntu and Windows across three different browsers.
I initially thought it could be a cache issue, but when I started to ping, it looks like its Just a bandwidth issue.

did hosting change recently? I have seen behaviours like this before when not allocating enough CPU to a loadbalancer; or when hosting updates their shared hosting machines.

Android and Linux (Mint) here. Has been slow for quite a few days, loading and 'liking'. Good job aquatic plant growers are a patient bunch, but still.

Problem not limited to the UK, also having problems here in the US even after peak UK hours. Using a VPN through Canada did not help either.

I'm using the Tapatalk app and this issue has been persistent for the last few days. I thought that it's because I have updated miui on my Xiaomi smartphone, but it looks like it's a bigger problem.

I have the issue on Android, Chromebook and Windows

 

[The grumpy one]

Loaded very fast today on my windows PC! Problem seems to be fixed here in the UK.

 

[Bradders]

Unless the hosting company fixed it, it will come back I think.

I can confirm that the forum on Tapatalk on the android platform works well. Loading fast and working smoothly.

I can confirm that host has applied some optimization to the server, so let's see if that helps.

Increased the bandwidth 200% was 5kbps now is 15kbps

I am having issues right now. I have a video I'll post later. But the site is pretty much intermittently unusable from 18:00. All other websites work fine.

I too have continued to have issues today. This is the first time I’ve managed to log on without long waiting times.

Hopefully it is now sorted.
