Laggy site all day long

I'm using Firefox and today RFD has been laggy and freezing FF all day long whenever I reload or load a new page it will freeze the whole browser. This is the same issue that the site had when it first switched the layout to the current design but was eventually fixed and it seems like it's back again. Anyone else having this issue or is it just me?

I'm using Safari and it's happening to me too. It's been laggy + takes so long to load a page.

RFD forums doesn't even load on my desktop. Even using mobile site on the computer gives me a "502 Bad Gateway - the server returned an invalid or incomplete response."

Works on my phone app..

I tried flushing It but It makes no difference. Only happens to my computer and not my laptop although the laptop doesn't go on RFD.

Hasn't happened to me. Did you check to see if the dns settings on your pc is the same as the laptop?

I haven't noticed any lagging and I have 15 tabs open. Only weird thing I noticed is the site being a bit wonky early in the week (504? 502? something? No red bar/menu at the top, etc.) But since yesterday (or day before?), everything has been fine.

Then again, my primary browser is Chrome so I don't know if that makes a difference.

Basically starts loading the page...pauses....and then resumes after 10-20secs?

Yeah that's pretty much it. It would completely freeze FF for like 5-10 seconds. It looks like they may have fixed it as FF no longer freezes for me. Pages still load a little slow.

Are you guys still experiencing the same amount of "laggyness" that prompted this thread?

We did have some issues a couple days ago but everything should be back to normal now

It's painfully slow!

Been 3 days now and seems to be getting worse!

I hesitate to log in for the delay in just doing that.

Anytime I switch forms, or want to reply, I might as well get a coffee. (not that bad)

REBOOT!

An update:

We've just applied a small hotfix to the forums which should alleviate some of the slowdowns. I suspect this will help significantly - but not entirely. Please let us know if you notice the performance increase going forward. We'll continue to monitor, adjust, and hopefully speed it up further.
