Site is lagging?

[User137]

I am currently experiencing 3 minute long page loads... I hope there is something that can be done to fix this.

It is not the first time also. Is it happening for you others?

[Ñuño Martínez]

Me too. It needs 30 seconds to one minute and a half to load a page.

Indeed it is true... Is something weird going on here? Took me about a minute to get the Whats New up... Also ping times are hovering around 125-145ms which is far from normal.

Confirmed! At some point, I even got 404's. Can somebody please take a look? It makes the site completely useless. :(

I am getting bad lagging as of now (2:38 pm)...

cheers,

OK, I can confirm it is getting worse over time despite ping times remaining steady. Likely this could be a DDOS or similar attack on PGD unless there is a hardware upgrade or something like that...

Network attack is likely, but I highly doubt it's against PGD specifically if it even is one. I'm pretty sure PGD must be hosted on shared hosting, as the costs for a dedicated server are quite large ;)

It is pretty bad and it's been going on for quite a while... I'm trying to get hold of Savage and the hosting company to try and get something sorted. I can no longer talk to the hosts directly since they've upgraded their support system which is a pain.

I'm fairly confident WILL has probably already tried getting in touch with Savage, but I'll give it a go too, just in case.

Been swamed lately, but I've contacted Dom through Skype and MSN and announced the issue on Twitter. Hopefully that'll get his attention. :)
