Anyone else having issues with super slow load times on the forum?

[ShawnFuzz]

For the last two days, I have a hard time navigating the forum because it takes 10 to 30 seconds after I click on something before it loads on my phone screen.

I just want to know if anyone else is having this issue. Or maybe something is going on with my end of things. This is the only site I am having trouble with.

Any insight would be helpful.

I'm experiencing that too. It's sometimes even longer than 30 seconds for me and at times, I've given up.

Okay, so its not just me? I wonder what is causing this?

Yes sir, but I'm new so I thought it was just how the site was

It's due to bots, likely AI scrapers. They have been downloading 1000+ pages a minute lately. Hopefully it loads a bit better today.

Thank you for confirming, and more importantly, welcome to the forum!

For someone who isn't tech savvy, this sounds really bad. Should I and others worry. You dont seem to be worried, but still....
