I’ve been getting some significant page loading delays lately. I first noticed it a couple of days ago when it was infrequent. But this morning it has happened several times. Anyone else? ---

Earlier in my phone I got this, for a long time while a page was loading. [![](https://i.imgur.com/K0mPFbI.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/K0mPFbI.png) ---

No problem at all. I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem since we switched to Discourse. ---

Last couple of days, yes. Today seems better. Hard to tell a site’s problems from my connection’s problems; but did seem to be better on other sites while it was bad here. ---

Everything seems to be fine here, too. Could the hurricanes be causing lag in some areas? ---

It seems to be working well for most, but a few have had some issues. We switched to Discourse around March 2020. Discourse has been a huge improvement. Many of us were getting this screen just before the change: [![](https://i.imgur.com/z1PuHBl.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/z1PuHBl.jpeg) I saved a couple of the old screens, for posterity, with today’s blue screen, here: [[Album] SDMB server issues before Discourse ![](https://i.imgur.com/z1PuHBl.jpeg?fb "SDMB server issues before Discourse") ](https://imgur.com/gallery/yFszs5h) ---

@Bullitt, I’m not complaining about the transition to Discourse back in 2020. This is a new problem for me; so I doubt it’s something inherent to Discourse, unless something about Discourse has changed quite recently. And also the problem’s intermittent, at least for me. ---

I’m not complaining about Discourse either. And so far this current situation (not a problem, really), has been intermittent for me too. I’ve seen it sporadically maybe 2-3x in the last few days, and then this morning it was happening frequently. I wanted to see if others were experiencing similar behavior. ---

I’ve had this ussue on many sites the last few days, so perhaps old Mrs. Amazon is having trouble with her cloud. ---

For a couple of days this week I was having problems - click on a thread and go make a cup of coffee while it loads. Seems back to normal now. ---

Earlier today I was getting more delayed page loading. Go make a cup of coffee, or go build a house without power tools, then come back. ---

Weird. Mine is still lightning fast. It seems most of the problems are US, both urban and rural. I wonder if it’s some kind of regional problem? > [@susan](#): > > I’ve had this ussue on many sites the last few days, so perhaps old Mrs. Amazon is having trouble with her cloud. Maybe she lost it in her second divorce. 🙂 ---

Yes it could possibly be based on region. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/uh-oh-performance-issues-on-straightdope-com-anyone-anyone-bueller/972512.md?page=2)
