Hi guys,

I’m expriencing some issues trying to access the forum, it seems that it takes longer than before to get posts loaded somehow. Did I hit any rate limit stuff? Thanks.

Cheers!

For me the forum works fine… Maybe it’s your connection, or I don’t know…

@Frank419, Your website’s pretty cool, but it takes forever to load.

[anon95807532]

I have ruled out the connection issue part as I tried different devices, different networks still the same…

[Frank419]

Really? My classmates all said that it’s like 10x faster than it previously was.
Maybe it’s your network?

@anon95807532

Did I hit any rate limit stuff?

nope - just hit CTRL + F5 xx times

The forum would tell you to slow down (lots of open tabs)
or you would see a CF error if it is RL

@Frank419

Maybe it’s your network?

Nope i don’t think so.

@Herbert

i don’t think so.

He ruled out the connection issue part, so now maybe it’s browser cache on his side…

@Frank419 Check this out buddy!

PageSpeed Insights (web.dev)

Ran pagespeed insights, looks like it’s indeed slow on mobile

But it shouldn’t take forever

How did you get like 10% lower compared to my results

I am also a SA so I alredy did those things and it’s certainly something else.

[Frank419]

Maybe it’s just your ISP doing something. Wait a few minutes and everything should be fine.

His site is hosted on Ace data center, so depending on your location, the further from the data center, you might get different result. Also certain country has internet restrictions will also account for the site’s performance.

Cheers!

[anon95807532]

That’s won’t happen with the line I have so that’s ruled out as well.

[Herbert]

@Oxy

First? what will happen when you have a higher status than regular?

I don’t know, maybe I will go nuts .

@Oxy

It’s interesting, but it takes a lot of time, and at least I don’t have that much, so it’s harder for me to participate

I get it, I am very sorry for making it bit more challenging.

@Oxy

You should have simplified it - let’s say you have pictures of cookies everywhere on that page
or that they fall instead of snow through some JS animation
and so you suggest where one should start looking

Hehehe, I built it to be like a CTF challenge I really wanted to test out how our fellow members analyze skills.

I am not sure about it. But the result of it is different from time to time.

@anon95807532

It shouldn’t affect on my side since I am on a VPS hosted VPN.

It will affect you regardless if the site is hosted from within, then even if you have a VPN, you still subject to that latency.

If he’s not using a CDN, then it’s true. I got confused with the topic sorry my bad lol

[anon95807532]

CDN accelerates the file transfer speed and lower certain static file latency, if the site is WordPress, or some other dynamic-based language, than that latency would still exist as the page is generated on the spot.

Update:
His site is built using WordPress and Elementor with PHP 8.1 as base language, so it’s definately dynamic.

I used Bitcatcha on my website since it’s one of the only ones to also calculate the server response on multiple countries and the results speak for themselves:

(yeah, I’m still using Cloudflare)
