Has the site been having slowness issues?

Found the old posts where @engineer_comp_geek discusses this (actually, ChatGPT found what I could not):

No, we are not self-hosted.

Discourse provides our hosting and also provides some degree of technical support. I don’t know the exact nature of our agreement, but they keep our software up to date and respond to bug reports and issues. They don’t do admin stuff like manage our site settings and such though.

When we first moved to Discourse I tried to look up how much we were paying. Based on the number of page views we get, we’re well up into the “call for a quote” cost category.
