Site Running Slow

Slowtwitch seems to be running really slow for me. It’s just this computer (Dell/Mozilla) and just this site. Once the page loads, it runs fine. It’s just the load times that take forever, almost like it’s getting hung up on some of the calls before I actually get website data.

Any suggestions?

edit: The last few pages have take 20+ seconds with the status box show a status involving facebook.com

Same thing from my IPhone….been going on for about two weeks now.

Is it just the forum, or the main site, or both?

Need an understanding of what might be lagging.

Thanks.

For me it is (sporadically) when the site forum initially loads.

Even if I have a window already open it reloads initially slowly.

Then once I am in the site I can go thread to thread quickly.

Talking about 5-8 seconds for initial load then fine thread to thread.

OK, cool, thanks. Sounds like a cacheing issue – I’ll keep an eye on it and see if we get any weird server pings.

I’m getting the error on both main site and the forums. When I went to the Training link, I get this warning.

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for log.slowtwitch.com. The certificate is only valid for training.slowtwitch.com.

ST has been dragging for me for several weeks now. Dan and I had a quick exchange in a LR thread about it recently, and he said he was going to get Jordan involved.

In my case, it is limited to Firefox on Win 10. I’ve resorted to firing up Internet Explorer just to visit ST, as it’s unbearable in FF. All other sites work just fine.

I’ve cleared the cookies and cache, but it hasn’t affected much. FWIW, some elements don’t appear to load at all such as the icons for the various forums. And, the advanced editor is dead, too. I’ve tried running it in different FF containers and private browsing mode to no avail.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys, while testing the Training Log on Firefox under Win 10 I noticed this problem as well. After some digging, it’s 30 or so seconds taken by DNS resolution (this is the internet system that takes “training.slowtwitch.com” and turns it into the actual server’s IP address). I’m not sure why only on FF, but this could be the same thing you’re describing.

Thanks,

Good information. Thanks.

I Disabled “DNS over HTTPS” and ST is much improved. Advanced editor seems to work. Forum icons still are not loading.

Thanks. I’m digging into this. We’ve got some stuff that I think can help, but yeah, a lot of it is just accumulated tech debt.

Thanks, Jordan. Let me know if you’d like me to beta test something on this end.

Having the same issue with Firefox 93.0 (latest) and Apple, IOS Mojave 10.14.6

It works fine in Safari (wife’s browser) and Chrome (kid’s browser).

This seemed to start about 1 1/2 weeks ago

We think we’ve isolated that one to the above temporary fix for Firefox.

What is the ETA for the firefox fix?

You mean other than disabling HTTPS over DNS?

Better question for Jordan.

Thanks for the useful information

I am still having this problem. Extremely slow page loads on firefox, windows 10.

No problem on other browsers on the same computer.

We’re working on a long-term resolution for Firefox, but we currently don’t have an ETA.

As another data point, everything is working well with the Brave browser.

Agreed.

The ST forum works fine in the brave (desktop) browser.

But it is insanely slow in the firefox (desktop) browser. So slow as to be completely unusable.

Any updates to the fix or the timeline?
