Website slow?

[SmashT 10907]

Forums super slow today or is it just me?

[tsandrey 379]

It's slow lately. It's not just you

[Disgraced 1123]

Very slow.

Over the last 24 hours. On some occasions, I am unable to connect.

As far as I've seen, no information is yet available to 'splain it.

[Dingus (DayZ) 429]

Yep. Sucks for me. I usually work this site with 8 tabs going constantly.

Since the standalone announcement it seems. We must have gained a lot of traffic from somewhere.

[Furry_PawstarZ 31]

Yes extremely slow today and had trouble even getting on the site yesterday.

[FrostDMG 398]

Possible fail DDOS? I honestly don't think the number of hits could have increased so exponentially that this amount of lag would occour

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

Maybe a few more people joined up, I've noticed past week it is very slow, Seen a lot of new posters too.

Their server is under high load, or Secured Servers is having problems again. I've had dedicated servers there before, and they have a lot of maintenance. DayZ their website is hosted on a dedi (or cloud) at Secured Servers as far as I'm aware.

That's why I'm thinking it's a DDOS

Definitely been slower than usual. Half the time I can't even open threads, it won't even connect.

Secured Servers is pretty good at blocking the incoming IP address of the attacker, if it is a denial of service attack. So then it's either a pretty good DDoS'er or the server is having some problems.

Hmmm, yes true, but the site and forums have been DDOS'd before

High use? With the patch?

The patch is hosted on a Swedish node, so there is no load from the patch on the US server on which the website and forums are hosted.

I mean people visiting because of it.

Could be, but I doubt it. Homepage / Download page aren't "big" pages and shouldn't use a lot of bandwidth, and Cloudflare should also speed up the site and save bandwidth by caching these pages.

More users = slower site.

Forum will be hurt more as it is a database lookup each time someone visits.

[Andrej Dudev 50]

If I try to use Tapatalk to read the forum it simply gives me a big finger.

@Jackster correctly optimized service configs for MySQL / PHP / Webserver will allow caching (x-cache?) and that would speed up most site page loads, for the database lookups, a properly posistioned localhost MySQL with some features turned off, would run perfectly.

[Brudagon (DayZ) 64]

Gah soooo slooowwwww

[magicool 115]

the forum is just like the game itself:

it's gettin worse ith every update

[Brudagon (DayZ) 64]

Maybe someone attempting to DDOS?
