Hey I am just wondering if anyone is having trouble with the site the last day or two or if it is just my internet?
Everything else on my phone seems to be working. I just have been having trouble with slow loading for RPR and even not loading late at night.

It's been lugging along slow, but steady. Haven't had any 'no load' clicks, just around 5-15 seconds to react.
Edit: As soon as I post this, it seems to be back to its normal speedy self.

Thanks, funny enough after I posted this it seems to have picked up better.
It heard you.
God yes. It happens enough to be annoying and sometimes makes the site borderline unusable. 😠But then sometimes it's back to its normal fast speed, though it's nothing that I do to my devices ... Just have to wait it out...
It’s consistently taking 25 seconds a click for me at the moment. I was curious when it reacted slowly this morning so I ran my phone’s stopwatch to my clicks on my iPad. Out of five clicks, the fastest was 22 seconds and the slowest 28 seconds, with most being close to 25 seconds.
I know Kim is quite busy behind the curtain but I’m sure server will be back to it’s old speedy self again soon.

Yeah I am sure it will be back to normal in no time. I was just making sure it wasn't my connection. I have cats that like to knock my internet tower thing over. And my cell service isn't the greatest neither.
It's not just you, or your devices and yes as Archivalist says it's around 25 seconds a click. Truly painful
I'm experiencing the same. Loading but slow to do so.
it is a little slow for me lately too, yeah. it took 25 seconds for it to just load so i could reply to this thread lol
I too have noticed it is excruciatingly slow recently, has any of you reported it? I'm sure Kim is already aware but could always be good to send a report in case, especially if you notice certain pages load slower than others!
Server seems to be back to its speedy self now!
Nope! Still having a rough time; even loading this page for a reply was about thirty seconds.
Doing some much needed server maintenance right now.
oh. my. god.
Hours of server tuning and things were only marginally improved. Then I notice a high amount of search traffic for nonsense terms. Turn off the search function for non-member accounts, and suddenly, like 99% improvement. We were being absolutely saturated by spammers searching the site for terms like "dubai hotels" a thousand times a minute.

And of course an hour later they are finding new ways to harass us. Still working.
Oof what a headache. Hope its just a wave that will pass 😢
Seems like things are starting to even out again. Will keep an eye on things throughout the day!

what in ternation!?
My guess is bots sent out to artificially inflate the "interest" in certain search terms and results to boost ranking and stuff in search engines. You know when sites give you suggestions for "popular searches" or "hot topics" and such?
