Website performance


Website Feedback


Is it just me, or has anyone else found problems browsing the messageboards on paizo.com lately (for the past 18 hours or thereabouts)?

Sometimes, the site is painfully slow, and at other times it's fine. Sometimes, I can't seem to load a page, and after minutes of waiting I have to go back and try again (to have it respond right away.) Sometimes, a page loads the important stuff (i.e. the text), but hangs while trying to load the icons (and on one occasion, even the fonts.)

Whenever I clicked on the "new posts" link for the thread "Pathfinder Adventure Path series question" the server would think for a while and then send me back to the page I had been on. (I eventually got around this by clicking on the thread title instead.)

I think someone needs to hit the server, like Han hitting the Falcon's control panel in The Empire Strikes Back.


Not just you.


It's been a bit sluggish for me, too. But not intolerably so.


85 second load time just to bring up the Sign In page. Blog page takes a bit of time, but mostly for loading images. Loading the "add a post" page was pretty quick for this thread.

It's not only you. I've been assuming it's because of the bandwidth being used by subscribers to download their PDFs, in which case things should come right in a few days or so.


The site has been pretty sluggish all week, and very sluggish the past couple of days for me.

But I am not certain it is from the Paizo servers. Traceroute dies at wci.com in Washington. Unless Paizo is using a web-host (I never got the impression they did), someone "on the path" is gumming up the works for me.

I think the problem is upstream of us -- our servers are all running fine and local access is as it should be. I'm contacting our ISP.

Same here

In my case, even the Paizo online SRD (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/) is on slow motion.

We poked something with a stick. Is it better now?


Yup! That's some fine poking, Gary.

Was it a dead body?


It is working better for me. But is still mildly sluggish. (As it was early in the week.)

Traceroute still dies at wci.com though, so it is very likely not you (Paizo).

Traceroute for Gary

YAY! It works again.

I haven't posted in a while, so this is rather belated, but... yes it is. Whatever it was you did, thank you!

I kept telling them they needed to do something about Kobold Cleaver.
