LQ: Slowness etc.
 

Hi,

I'm just wondering if I'm the only one that has an increase in the following issues:
- Very slow loading (very regular),
- Loading without activated css content (a few times a day),
- nginx bad gateway (seen this one 2 or 3 times)
- time-outs (very regular).

I see these above since Thursday/Friday and they are very irregular. It doesn't matter what time of day (I'm on-line from roughly 07:00 to 22:00 CEST).

Things I've tried on my side:
- Switched from https to http,
- Tried different browsers (opera, firefox, iseweasel on linux / ie and firefox on windows),
- Different networks (home, work, costumer).

All to no avail....

Yes, I can confirm that I have had all of those at irregular intervals.

We haven't changed anything on our end in that timeframe and I haven't noticed any issues from here. That being said, I'll take a look around now and see if I can spot anything odd. In the meantime, if any other LQ members are noticing issues, please do post with as many details as possible. thanks.

I rarely see those issues on LQ, and I haven't noticed them being more common in the last few days.

Just today (about 18:00 UTC) I had several of the Bad Gateway errors when clicking on links in my Subscribed Threads list. Reloading the page loaded the page that was intended to load.

I've had slow loading, long delays when posting a reply, occasionally. And I've had the Bad Gateway error in the past, but not recently.

I haven't had any of the above mentioned issues (at least not recently)

On a completely unrelated note, LQ stats are hardly usable for me. If I want to change a category to be displayed it sometimes takes ages (after a minute or so I just give up and close it)
I know it's off-topic here.

I have seen the bad gateway error sporadically, but no more frequently than with other forums I frequent. Maybe twice in the last week, but it isn't frequent enough for me to find a pattern. My work around is to way a while and try again.

Our goal here at LQ is to be consistently error free. We'll keep working toward that goal and appreciate the patience in the meantime.

Top Posters seems to be especially problematic. Are you noticing issues with any other specific stats?

Sorry, can't remember any particular stats.
I've just checked the stats and they work fine. I can't find Top Posters in the menu, though.

The query used just wasn't sustainable at our size, so I removed it. The rest seem to be fine. If you have any additional problems with the stats, please let me know in a dedicated thread.

Ok, thanks

Thanks, jeremy. I think your dedication shows in the overall excellence of LQ among Linux forums. Sorry I can't contribute any specific data for you to go in this regard. I just know I saw that error a couple of times in the last week. It doesn't seem abnormal to me for a forum this large to have occasional hiccups.

After reading what you said, I just realized that I have gotten the 502 bad gateway about 5 or 6 times within the past week. The most recent time it did it to me was about a good half hour ago, and it took about five minutes before I could access LQ again. Last night at work, it took almost 10 minutes before I could view my subscribed threads again. Not sure what could be causing this?
