Don't mean to revive a dead thread but just wanted to let you guys know PGDs been gradually slowing down over the past couple of days for me when everything else has a ping of 10-15ms for me to the point I'm now getting a couple 503s loading the front page...
I once tried to change the world. But they wouldn't give me the source code. Damned evil cunning.
I have also encountered some dificulties today with opening PGD page. But I thought they might be related to some problems with ms ISP. I gues the problem might reside elswhere
better slower but stable than faster and unstable & buggy if you ask me

15 seconds is too much. Hosting provider definitely has problems.

After reviewin site statistics that AthenaOfDelphi shared with me it seems that main cause for slow loading of PGD are two bots which are causing huge trafic load out site. It is even posible that they are using most of the sites bandwich.
We were discusing about blocking these bots but unfortunatly this probably won't be an easy job.
As I explained to Silver, I'm not in a position to do too much of anything on the site this week. I'll certainly be digging deeper into those stats at the weekend though. To put it into context, these two bots appear to have been responsible for something like 500K hits. This is a significant chunk of the 1400K hits the stats show as the total for this month.
This is clearly unacceptable, so I'm going to be doing something about it
As a side issue, the caching changes I made the other day to try and improve things have had to be taken off-line. They were causing major problems with the log in/log out process and effectively meant it was practically impossible to log off.

Well, you have the bots IP so you can trace to their operator. They could be contacted to in order to make them stop.Originally Posted by SilverWarior
