Title: Connection Timed Out - Anyone experiencing timed out errors when loading site?
Post by: Pacesetter on May 17, 2024, 19:50
Getting a Connection Timed Out error quite regularly. I figure sometimes it might be my internet connection but other times the connection is fine and all other sites load without delay. Anyone else getting connection timed out errors?

I noticed something odd as well.  The last few days it takes the site to come on very slowly if at all. Could it be the after affects from the Aurora borealis? Or just someone trying to hack. Could be an update needed or in progress? Who knows? 🤔

Constantly. Click on the link and it hangs and barely loads. However if you're using a vpn changing countries for a faster  can work on other sites to stop the hanging but it doesn't work on this site.

My guess is this site changed to cheap web hosting server to save money.  Cheap servers often have this problem.

Yes, it's very slow + sometimes doesn't load at all.

I suspect someone is probably hammering the site (dos attacks/etc).

Yes I'm having trouble connecting to the forum as well, it either won't load at all or is very slow to load
