Vanity: FreeRepublic.com responding very slowly, long delay?
Self ^ | May 22, 2024 | Dayglored

Posted on 05/21/2024 9:28:05 PM PDT by dayglored

For the past half hour or so, FR has been slow to respond, with a long delay. Refreshing a page pauses for 10-30 seconds, then suddenly bingo it's there. All other sites are acting normally. I'm on Spectrum in Upstate NY with very high-speed cable. No other symptoms.

Anybody else noticing a longish delay to get a page from FR?

Disclosure: I'm spoiled. The early years of FR were pretty slow all the time, and JohnRob has had this site working extremely well for so long now that a 10 second pause is unusual.

Kudos JohnRob, and I hope if it's the site, that it's nothing serious.

Seems blue-pilled script kiddies are messing around with pro-Trump sites today.

AHA! That would explain it. Well, if you're now on Akamai they're usually pretty robust against DDOS etc. so I guess we just wait it out and hope nothing breaks in the meantime.

Thanks for the update and again, thank you so much, and God Bless!!

Thank you for mentioning it. I thought it was my internet provider.

I just noticed it. I thought it was my browser so tried another one. It was still the same.

Please try to keep up.

Good point. So ā€˜splain me, Lucy, whatever is ā€œTrans Fatā€, or is that just maximum un=PC to ask?

It's extremely un-PC, but I'll make an exception, just this time.

"Trans Fat" is the Chinese intelligence Bad Guy character from Hawaii Five-O, originally named "Wo Fat", after he underwent gender change.

Wo Fat

I'm sorry to say I don't have a photo of "Trans Fat", it's just too horrible.

Is your computer plugged in? Did you try turning it off and back on? Did you reboot your router? Did you empty the trash or recycle bin? Did you update your browser and clear your browser cache and history? Did you run scandisk and defrag?

No, but I stuned my beeber, and then took a shower. It appears to have solved this hugh and series issue.

Whew! I made sure I was logged in first thing when my connection was slowed down. I am here in Spain and thought it was my hotel connection. Went to other websites and had good speed. The slow down was unique to FR. It appears quicker for the time being.

I’m a slow reader so I could read your post better than the others.

I’m having no problems. Either the situation has been corrected, or its on your end/provider/area.

I really just dislike Gates, so I blame everything I can on him.

I know that’s irrational, and you sound so rational that I am a little embarrassed right now.

Thanks for your comments.

By the way, ā€œHappy New Year.ā€

For hideousness, photo documentation is NOT required.šŸ™€šŸ™€šŸ™€
