Site performance issues?...

[greenbean]

Starting yesterday... the site is consistently SLOW and doesn't render at all every so often.

Is it just me?...

Been that way for me for more than a week.

Matt K is aware and is trying to address the issue.

Unfortunately it still seems to be slow.

Judging from the MySql diagnostic, I'd guess there is a table very close to full or so badly fragmented the server is having difficulty extending its page chain even for temporary locks.

Using this as my second post for verification purposes but I want to make the board aware I'm a site reliability engineer in my day job so I'd be happy to volunteer looking at anything and giving my opinion where it would be useful.

Looks like there are stability issues today, again

Should be fixed now. It’s the tool that I wrote to catch bot traffic again. Ubuntu just released the new LTS (they do so every two years). I was waiting for that to do a fairly major overhaul. I plan on doing a big upgrade next weekend and revamping how I handle bots which should be a t last an order of magnitude more efficient.

Unreachable for most of yesterday. Needless to say, at least that problem was solved today. Thanks Techies!
