Site is sometimes slow

Actually not too bad at the moment.

You can actually go here to test: https://tools.pingdom.com/#633ddbd5d1400000

Under 5 seconds is ok at the moment - over 10 is when we're having an issue.  

FYI, site is quite slow for me, and has been for at least the last week (actually it's almost always quite slow for me). I'm seeing load times of around 30s, plus a few more seconds after that for the scripts and such to finish loading and the page to become active. I also regularly see it load without any CSS.

definitely slower than usual right now

Yup - it's been up and down a lot in the past few hours - main issues are server timeout and invalid certificate.

I've been trying like crazy to pin this down - will probably end up upgrading the server shortly.

And just now it's fast -- around a second to load.

tweaked a few things (again). But who knows.  

I blame it on the loose cannons who inhabit this place…

yeah, better now.

yeah - it was too good to be true.  Think I found something -TLS is 1.1 and should be 1.2 my WHM isn't giving me this as an option.  Server guys are looking into it.  Reboot may happen at some point in the near future.

We had a pretty good uptime the past few days - then I just tried tweaking something and it went a bit wacky again.

In the meantime - I've been looking into upgrading our server and other options - thanks for everyone's support!  Hopefully we'll have a longer term solution soon.

Computing for Dummies question:  What is an invalid certificate?

Often one that has not been renewed.

Very slow now. Pingdom load time 53.2 seconds. Grade 71.

It’s not (yet) because of the certificate, the current one expires in two days (Wed, 26 Jun 2024 13:32:14 UTC)

Fixed.

We're still in the process of upgrading the server as well.  Not the easiest of updates.

Response got really sluggish since about noon or so. Takes a good 20 seconds for a page to fully display.

@jamie - You used to have SOMA town events on the top of the Worldwebs landing page, but it looks like it's not shown there anymore? In other words, I don't see the upcoming July 4th nor Maplewoodstock info on the MOL home page.

Also (or maybe it's related), the calendar seems to be doing something strange. Even though I'm at "All Calendar" in the breadcrumb, the only categories I see are "Music" and "South Orange", so there is no Maplewood 4th of July or Maplewoodstock info shown on the calendar either.

From the resident Luddite here, I have very slow response — for weeks — trying to select a word to check spelling or meaning. 

My 2 cents.

These are up now!  And hopefully everyone in town got the Maplewoodstock program in the mail this past week.

Slow a couple of days ago but running well now, thanks!

otoh, i actually spent some useful time away from the computer for a while there
