Slow loading

[Momo]

Has anyone else noticed slow loading pages on the site?

I've said this before but all X links freeze the page for me. I have to either find a part of the page in between the links that I can scroll with or I have to back out if the thread and come back in again.

I have noticed slow loading pages too but I just put it down to my WiFi acting up.

I’m getting the same issue over 5G. It’s not even threads that are slow loading but the forum pages/notifications pop up.

I had it the other day but yeah in general twitter posts make it hard to scroll

I don't see the problem as a user but I mainly use a browser (Mac or iPad). The server loads are fine currently and I see nothing 'exciting' in the logs.

We did have a problem on Friday but that was due to excessive crawler activity which I think I've managed to block/mitigate.

Happy to have a more extensive look if you can give me something a bit more concrete to look for

It’s on my iPhone using safari. It could be something more sinister with my device as I’m still using an iPhone 13 Pro. It’s just like Apple to do shit to make me upgrade.

The spike far right at 12:48 CET (our servers are hosed in Paris) is just the admin panel running jobs on load. The regular spikes are ElasticSearch re-caching

I've got a newer iPhone. I'll try to use the PWA on it for the rest of the day

OK, I'm out of my depth here and we do need Jono or another website/PHP god to step in. I've increased the PHP pools and threads but beyond that I'm not knowledgeable enough to do much else. Response times look good from curling pages so then the focus goes on to local render

[edit] ChatGPT has suggested I turn on slowlog which I've done too

@6TimesaRed ⭐ ?

Can you report back into this thread with any findings positive or otherwise?

It went down for about half an hour. First noticed at 13:26.

Yepp - Dropped a message on Discord.

I'm having a day off it today! Will report back when it's stable.

Friday issue not related to today (13:30-ish) issue.

 

[dee]

All stable now - so any reports of poor response bang them in here. Need a time as well as what happened

Twitter still being a bitch but the rest is fine

To trace I need the time you had the problem and the specific post in thread

I just had it now on this Twitter post https://www.sixcrazyminutes.com/threads/great-goals-25-26.218665/page-2#post-2495626

I think it's not specific to this site though, it's an X issue.

That reacts instantly on my phone just now (20:00) and curling the URL gets a quick response too

Curl from my Mac to SCM:
DNS: 0.002914s
Connect: 0.027327s
TLS: 0.292499s
TTFB: 0.486719s
Total: 0.536444s

X direct embed:
Total: 0.275067s

SCM embedding is adding .25s to the twitter native time which is pretty decent

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Yep, it impacts pretty much every single X post, just not every time. Something to do with the first time they're loaded, or maybe the nth time they're loaded, not exactly sure. I don't think it impacts any other embeds like Instagram.

I get that issue all the time with twitter links. Wait 15-20 seconds to load up. I put it down to not having it installed in my phone or logged in.

I do have the Twitter app, although I never use it.
