    The internet connection is fine, as are all the hops in between. The server itself is replying in a decent time - but its the software (the web server or another part) is running very slowly.

    It is chewing on something horrible and the admin needs to give it a good slap on the back to cough it up!

    It could be that the storage is very full

    This little capture shows all the hops and pings. Arrows point to the interesting columns

    It has been alow for a while, but by looking at the posts and the time it has been mentioned, it looks like nothing is being done or will be done.
    Just do it, and have fun

    It's all a cunning plan to drive us off the Internet and into the studio!

    We're not ignoring the problems it's not in the interest of the forums or members to do that.

    Steven worked on it yesterday afternoon, last night and again this morning.
    Been slow for me as well and I'm pretty fast cable. Some of the tweaks appear to fixed it for the moment.

    Hehehe.... You must have a pretty bad memory. 10-15 seconds even 30 sec to load up at todays don't have a second to lose speed seems to be very, very slow but slower than dial-up... Hell no!
    I remember dial-up very well. Click load wait, go make a cup of tea/coffee, back to the computer, drink tea/coffee, wait, go to toilet, wash hands, back to computer just in time to see the download slowly dribbling onto the screen, swear at the computer and eventually chuck a hissy fit after about 15-20 minutes wait.

    Oh yeah I remember dial-up very, very well. 5-10mbps download then and now average 200mbps (on a bad day).

    Cloudflare and other CDNs only really speed up static/semi-static content delivery. The slowness of this forum is the messages page (which is dynamic) and some CSS (which should be semi-static, but is taking a long time), not really any of the secondary or static content.

    I just did a test on Countersinking in Steel Plate (random page)
    - it took 4.6 seconds to load the main page/html - nothing much can happen until that's completed
    - a number of calls to css.php took a long time, each about 4.4 seconds, all unblocking at the same time, which implies a mutex in the server code (often attempting to write to a server-side cache)
    - none of the javascript/rendering was an issue
    - a bunch of advert junk happened at the end, but the two problems above would need to be resolved first

    First Paint was at around 9 seconds, and the "junk" around the edges took another ~5 seconds (but didn't block anything, so no big deal)

    There are lots of articles about tuning your vbulletin performance, but let's see if the maintainers are interested in this, or maybe did work here already.
