Web site extremely slow

Unread post by **Stephen** » 26 Oct 2018, 12:19

The web site has been extremely slow this morning with pages struggling to load. That was up until just now when it suddenly burst back into life.

Has management been tinkering?

Are you using Chrome as your browser Stephen? I do and over the last few days it has been erratically sluggish, if you get my drift, it's either Chrome or a recent update of Windows 10 which always seem to create more problems than it fixes.

Windows 7 John. All working fine again now.

I think Onelife lent David 20p for the meter until he can get to the bank

It was slow earlier today but it was nothing I was doing - I suspect the hosts were "tinkering"

John - there are many problems at the moment with Chrome not behaving as it should, not only with this software but generally.

David, do you know if they intend to, indeed can, fix it?

Thanks for posting that, towny. I thought it was something I had done as it has happened a couple of evenings. I usually just assume that it is me who has messed up (actually it normally is me - my son calls me a numpty when it comes to computers).

The second was this.

it was a tad cold last night, maybe the valves took longer to warm up.

Unfortunately that will not help. It appears that the site is being inundated by spam bots

An automated program that keeps trying to access the site - they are fairly common and most gets these attacks from time to time.

Someone somewhere in China

That is the twenty four thousand dollar question - because they are idiots with nothing better to do with their time.

Well even though we now know there seems little we can do.

I did find a web page telling how to kill the spam bot program, if that is definitely the cause, but I'm sure David is on the case.

I have every confidence in David sorting it out
