Friday evening here in Arizona USA and I login to vote in the Sleeping Babies challenge and I can't do that. I have been waiting over 3 minutes just to make a comment while I'm taking a very very short break with company here.

Someone... PLEASE e-mail support!

We have been working on the server for this performance issue since 7/28/20. The performance has been changing all the time. Sometimes, it is lighting fast and may turn slow next minute. You may experience short server down time for performance improvement.

Thank you. At this moment, it appears to be "lightening" fast!

Tuesday morning 10am here in NZ - the site is still slow - not as slow as yesterday but still a pain. I have just had a new hard drive and system upgrade and it isn't my computer every other site is super fast to respond.

Have been trying on and off for an hour to get on site! It's 11.30 am here in Qld Aust. It took 4mins from when I clicked on sign in until I got on my home page.
I couldn't get onsite at all yesterday, it was taking so long the 'unavailable' message would come up.

Very slow here today - 2:30 pm Central on Saturday 8/15. Was going to vote and comment but it's taking forever for the comments to post :-(

Xguern66 says:
Sunday morning here NZ time and it's slowed down again. Wish we could get consistency. It had been going well for a few days. I notice also that there are no new pages posted for a very long time probably due to the speed or lack of. Sorry support but we are losing members because of this - can it pleased be fixed. If the number of pages is one factor I'm sure we would all remove them if doing that was made easier.

Banda says:
I would certainly delete some old pages if it helps. There are also a LOT of members, going back years, who have never been back to their sites maybe clearing these would help also

Lori47 says:
I am not sure if deleting pages is a good solution or not. I do know right now that support is working on the server. E-mails are not working again! I agree that I wish I could see more consistency here. I know they are trying their best though.

it is going on 3 PM hearing in Arizona on Tuesday, September 1 and I have come in to make some comments and votes and the site is running quite slowly again. :-(

Xguern66 says:
Yes Lori I have just come into Forums to report exactly the same thing. Wednesday morning here in NZ and the site is VERY Very slow - taking ages to go from one page to another. It hasn't been super fast over the last week or so but just about acceptable - but today it's far from it. I know support are supposedly working on it but we desperately need some consistency here.

Lori47 says:
Yes, Joce. Since I last made my comment here about her now or ago and has gotten even slower. I just went to make more comments and vote in the CAMERA FUN challenge... it has taken me sometimes 2-3 MINUTES just to make one comment or vote and then having to wait after submitting my comment or choosing my vote. BEYOND frustrating! Time is of the essence when I have so many other things to take care of, calls to make and so on.

Very slow here in the UK. I have given up trying to comment on pages other than those in my challenges, takes too long. Just couldn't get on at all this morning. A lot quicker at the moment!

Sorry Support but not here in NZ. I'm commenting on pages and 3 times I gave up waiting for my comment to post and had to do it over again because I was impatient. VERY slow and frustrating.

valrushton says:
Slow here in the Uk too. Couldn't get on at all earlier this morning. It's stopping me commenting on all pages as it takes far too long.

Same experience (as far as slowness) as Xguern66 and valrushton .... still very very very slow just to make a comment here in southern Arizona today (around noon on September 3, 2020). :-(

Well I signed on last nite (Sep/3rd) at midnite, to upload my entries for the Vintage wedding challenge, and after 35 mins I had only uploaded 2 entries. I gave up and tried to up load 2 more entries today Sept/4th, started at 11.54 am no change, it took me 23
mins. This is really crazy.

Same here Simone so, after Wednesday night's SBF meeting, I am supposed to e-mail support if I see anything slowing down AGAIN. So when I tried to login late this morning (Friday) and it took almost 5 minutes just to make a comment and then longer to submit the comment. So I immediately e-mailed support and then everything is running much faster. For now anyway.

Love your pages! Just took too long to leave one of my lengthy comments.

it is very slow here in the US. I have to wait and wait to get on any page ... never this slow before. I don't think it is my system as all other sites seem to be normal.

Lori47 says:
Today here in the US when trying to login around noontime Arizona time... it was extremely slow. I then e-mailed support and things have gotten better. I hope it remains that way. :-)

Here in NZ lunchtime Thursday. The site is super fast for me. It's enjoyable to use - wish it was like this always. So sorry to hear others are having problems. Maybe it's because most of the members are in the Northern Hemisphere and are probably asleep and not using their computers while down here in the South there are only a few of us - just a thought. I'll try again thi evening when you all wake up.

Glad to hear that the site has been running super fast for you on your Thursday. It's still running pretty fast here this Wednesday evening.
