Website very slow and unresponsive. Anyone else having issues this past week?

[D-Rocks 284]

An error occurred (500 Error)

We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now.

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

Yes, its been slow or not loading at times.

[omarcomin71 3,900]

Yeah it’s been very slow for me as well.  Gets a bit frustrating at times. 

[LimeGreenLegend 4,295]

I've noticed this on a few occasions.  Also the chatbox disconnects really fast sometimes, often right after loading the page.

[DavidCore89 7,404]

Yeah, a few times.

[Sinister 2,583]

Pretty much every single day when I'm on mobile. Nowhere near as often on PC though.

Can anything be done to resolve this?

I think this past week the page wasnt available twice. But i just waited until I could get in. I could not get in so I waited, I dunno, maybe 10 mins and went right in. I think its just gonna happen sometimes.

I am experiencing the same issues

sometimes? I agree however not multiple times a week. It seems to be a database issue to me.

It's getting to the point where I am not visiting the website as frequently as I was because it's just not loading. We didn't have this much performance issues with our old website.

[zztop911 1,609]

Yup! Not bad now though.

[Dodge 7,265]

I thought it was my phone. I've been experiencing some random issues with my phone lately. So I just attributed it to that. But I am getting slow load times.

Having serious loading issues while navigating the site today. Every page I open on the site either loads for up to a minute before it becomes responsive or fails to load the page entirely. That's new. (on PC)

Nothing bad for me all day long so far.

[Protocawl 2,971]

Seems to be okay now, though.

[Sinister 2,583]

It is was super slow this morning and the afternoon wasn't much better.

Same here, assuming everyone did.

I disabled the Arcade, let me know if it makes a difference one way or the other

I haven't had a single issue since that day.

Either way, it could be cause for the site to slow down, the arcade hits alot of connecions on the server. I'll leave it offline for sometime to see.

Speaking of the Arcade. A lot of those games (last time I was i it anyways) require FLASH which is being eliminated late this year. What will happen then?

Most of then are html 5 games not flash.
