Is Pathfinderwiki down?


Product Discussion


So, I've noticed recently (like, over the past few months, recently) that Pathfinderwiki is slooooooow loading a lot of the time. Like, my browser times-out slow, and more than half of the time that I try to go there. Happens to me on both Firefox and Safari.

Over the past week, after several attempts to visit the site, I'm always getting the same message on the page:

Firefox wrote:
Gateway Timeout: can't connect to remote host

I sort of figured I wouldn't be the only one noticing this, so figured it might be just me, but going on several months of trouble now, I figured I'd ask to see if it's just me.

It's just you.

When was the last time you purged your DNS resolver cache or deleted local content?


About a month ago, I think. Certainly more recently than I've noticed problems, given that the computer's only 6 weeks old. :) I'll give them a try and see if one of them fixes the problem.

EDIT: Nope, no fix.

Incidentally, it happens across browsers, and I think across devices, though I haven't tested that hypothesis in a while. It also seems to happen regardless of whether I'm using my home internet or my work, which is why I thought it might be a site problem as opposed to PEBKAC or my devices.


It's been fine for me here in Portland, OR, USA, all day.

I was going to follow your last suggestion, but first I tried your first suggestion, and it says "It is not just you. The server is not responding...".

Have been having this problem for the last several days. After a REALLY LONG time, pages eventually load, but it takes several minutes for each.


It's having a never-ending load time for me today.


Seems to have been fixed . . . for now (the above isn't the first I have seen it broken either, just the first time I found this thread).


Now it's broken again -- wonder if this is a weekend thing.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

tl;dr: Have PathfinderWiki, StarfinderWiki, or PFO Wiki been really slow or inaccessible lately? We're trying to get to the bottom of it, and we'll also do some intensive wiki maintenance on the weekend of June 24. Please hang tight until then, and send me a message if the wiki is completely inaccessible!

I saw that problem once for a couple of hours last week. I will be sure to let you know if I find one of those Wikis down and can get back to this thread to tell you about it.


I've heard more reports that it was down today, but I've not seen any downtime and none of the reports provided any specifics about time of day or location, so I have nothing new or good to report.

I've been on it frequently all weekend, up to late last night and early this morning, with no issues, so if this is regional or limited to very specific times of day, I really need details to know how and what to escalate to the provider


Bumping this topic up to note that we now have a really rudimentary UptimeRobot reporting on our uptime. (Sorry for the crummy URL.) If you think the wiki's down, check that status page to see if we're having problems. It'll also notify me when we have downtime.

Since we finished our server upgrades, our response times have dropped considerably, and we've had about 20 minutes of total unavailability since June 26.

Hopefully the wiki's working better for everybody! If not, please let me know.
