Site slow?


Website Feedback

Liberty's Edge

Has anyone else found that the Paizo site has been abnormally slow over the last 12 hours or so? I thought it may have just been my PC or connection, but when I tried it from work I found the same thing. In particular, images (e.g. avatars) are very slow to load.


I noticed it yesterday afternoon/early evening. I was wondering myself. Any thoughts would be appreciated.


The site was unusable in here yesterday...


For me, it depends on browser. In Opera, the site times out; in Firefox, it takes a minute or more to load a page; in Explorer, it works fine.


Probably for about the last four to seven days. In the last two days, I’ve also noticed a pronounced delay cutting from the site and pasting into Word. I thought it was some odd quirk of my pc, but it happened last night at work as well in exactly the same fashion.


I'm glad to see it's not just me.
I've tried ie and firefox. Both are slow for me.


It's not just you. It's running like a dog today.

Argh!!!! this is driving me crazy... I can't get anything from this page...

tooooooo.... sllloooooooooooooowwwwww..


Help! Help!

I'm trapped in molasses!

Yeah its running pretty slow for me too. But its odd because its going up and down. For a few minutes its running nice and smooth and then it slows right down - only to speed up again at random intervals.

Could it be the amount of traffic on the site?


There are some slight Intarweb issues that may be giving some people issues. It's intermittent for me.

Tobus Neth, ... this is the police ... step away from the keyboard and put the mouse down.


Ten minutes to load the front page, with no images coming up at all- very odd.

I kid, I'm kidding;)

It was the computer I was concerned about. Do whatever you want to your body.

One of our webservers freaked out over the weekend, but I didn't notice because my laptop was talking to a server that wasn't discombobulated. Vic noticed it yesterday evening and I came into the office and fixed it. So things should be back to normal now.

Despite the rhetoric, I have a few theories.

If I get here to work at 7 a.m., my camera purrs like a kitten.
If I get here to work at 7:30 a.m., my camera acts a fool.
This is because the gremlins know how to derive maximum benefit from their hijinx.

Well, it's seems that wikipedia has covered pretty much every subject on the planet.

And if it hasn't covered your subject you can add the page and then have it vandalized, deleted and rewritten.


Whah - so slow! My addiction is not being sated!


Be vewy vewy quiet. Ah'm hunting LAG-monsters. Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh!


It was slow for me about 8 hours ago, REALLY slow. Now it's a little better. Everything else in North America is pinging fast and loading no problem.

Edit: and this edit loaded at the usual blindingly fast speed.

IP wouldn't resolve at all before bed (2...3...pm eastern). Glad it is smooth again, I was getting the shakes. Figured maybe you were getting DDoS'd.

No attack—one of our servers had a runaway process, and wasn't answering requests. Our DNS configuration had a 50% chance of pointing to the deaf server upon initial request, so half the world could see us, and half the world couldn't.


It took me about 4 minutes to get from main to writing this post. Been like this for a few hours.


That was on firefox.

On explorer it's just a little slow.

What gives?


Working well for me in Firefox at the moment.

One of our servers was having a really bad morning. I fixed it a cup of coffee and gave it a muffin, and it seems happier now.

If I may be so bold...

Your servers seem to be having rough patches lately. You may need to start leaving pots of coffee, and trays of muffins.

Perhaps traffic is a bit higher than they are used too?
