Forum VERY slow currently

Has been extremely slow this morning (from 10-10:30 EST anyway).

After an extremely serious hacker attack late last week we had to move all of DVD Talk's servers to new servers. So there may still be issues/optimizations which need to be addressed.

Please do keep us update though when you experience issues.

Thanks for the update Geoff, sorry to hear about the hacker attack. Some people really need to get lives.

Site is still very slow for me.

Glad and sorry to hear I'm not the only one.

Just to be helpful, I'll post a traceroute:

I don't think it's a network issue, i think it's a server issue

Looks like it was an issue with a setting in Apache.

The site is now on new servers with an updated OS so hopefully the end result will be better performance, not worse :)

I'm still noticing the site moving very slow on a daily basis for the last couple weeks. It comes and it goes at different periods throughout the day.

ya it was very slow just a bit ago for a good five minutes

Yep, getting so periodic slowness today and yesterday as well.

But nothing like when I posted the thread where it was super slow all the time for several hours.

Just seems to hit a "snag" loading a thread every now and then. Then jumps back to normal.

It's slow on mine too. Also often times the page just stop loading before it was finished. Kinda frustrating, but at least it's not my ISP this time. :)

It's got to be something within the site. When it freezes up like it does, I noticed before I can go to other websites with no problem. Now I see that I can actually go to other parts of DVDTalk with no problem, like "Coupons" or "Easter Eggs"...but if I try to go to one of the forums...nothing.

It's been doing it every few minutes the last couple hours.

Yeah, I've noticed it intermittedly all day.

Apparently the disconnecting thing on me also happen on some other site. I did a tracert on a few sites and it has timeouts. But anyway, it is a little bit slow. A few minute ago the page won't load at all when I tried to jump between forum. Had to stop the loading process and reload.

It's still doing it. Any answers yet?

Yep, I just noticed the slowdown about 15 minutes ago, but it seems to be OK now.

Yeah, it seems to do it all day a couple of times an hour at least. I'm getting used to it.

Still doing it. Any answers yet?

after a LOT of digging we THINK we have found the issue (a php cache program which wasn't configured the way it needed to be)

HOPEFULLY this will help resolve the issue.

Still getting the periods of slowness today. Other sites loading fine for me.

Down to a crawl now. Almost unuseable at times. But it has been coming and going. The site timed out on me numerous times. But if I go to another website it comes up fine. So it's nothing on my end.
