I noticed ecf was slow loading for the last few days, as well. and decided to see if anyone else saw this.
Here you go.

Slow loading times?

It could be a webserver problem, i.e if a webserver goes down, the overall free MaxClients in the load balancing pool goes down, increasing queueing times for HTTP requests, but this shouldn't cause massive delays. The more likely explanation is that the backend database is now too large to fit in RAM, and the database cache hit ratio is a bit lower than it could be, causing excessive disk IO, as both the database and filesystem caches are becoming exhausted. A temporary fix would be to rebuild indexes, and to physically reorder the main forum posts table in order of threadid, so that table scans don't use massive database block size chunks of VM. A more permanent fix would be to install more server memory or to cull threads/posts.
That'll be $20 - cheap at half the price

It was very slow for me all day today. I had to do a force quit/reload at one point, when I came back to ECF after reading on another site and discovered it had been trying to go to "preview post" for over 20 minutes.
I've been on other forums where it's been said that long threads hammer the server. There are some here that are just ridiculous, a few thousand pages at the maximum posts / page setting...
Maybe slowly splitting them up, or implementing a limit so people can start a 'part 2' thread, and mods can put posts linking them together, would help.
(I don't know anything at all about databases, so bring your own grain of salt...)

Not terrible, site does feel slower today, IMO.

Our mods have been splitting long threads for quite a while. There are several Part 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 threads. But I agree that more need to be split. We are a chatty group.
I also think that something needs to be done with the likes--it takes a very long time now to check those. I tried getting to them from my profile page--same thing...
I agree with Katya about checking Likes. It's been taking around 45 seconds to load for a long, long time now.
yup Its loading slow for me on Google chrome as well.
but the content is so awesome its worth the wait

Why is everyone in such a hurry? Just take a vape and slow down.
Trust me life is way way to short to worry about loading times.

Dude that type of consultation is worth a lot more than $40 at full price! I run an IT business and I wouldn't charge less than $85/hr for such a detailed analysis at the data center level.

Are you kidding??? What if there is an emergency?!?!?!?!
It's getting really bad. It's gotten to the point that pages don't even load half of the time. Don't know if it's a server issue, bandwidth issue or design issue but it's getting really really bad. I'm inclined to say server issue due to it being just as bad on tapatalk.
It's getting to the point where I can't go through the forums like I used to. I only come here to search for things as a reference. 10 second page load times are just too sluggish for casual browsing. Especially with so few posts per page.
Because life is so short is precisely why long load times are not acceptable.
Not like we're talking one long page load, one time, once in awhile. That said the site has been working better for me lately, but I see it's not so for others... and when it was horrid for me, it was ok for some others.... so there are def problems with the site that need fixin'. And fixin' stuff is better than leavin' it broke and "chillin'" with the broke parts.

Went down for me completely for quite some time a few days back. Had to clear all the cobwebs from the sundry particulars stored for the domain to crawl back in.
