It's rather unpredictable currently. Sometimes response times are normal, but a few minutes later its slow again.

Sadly, for me it's back to slow again - after being okay earlier today. Imho, Dal should check the server load (RAM and CPU). To me this feels like a server running at the limit.

I've re-reported it to Dal. Now I'm getting the slow repsonse. As above it seems to be a good 10-20seconds from a click to a page / PM being displayed.

Well there's nothing happening on this forum that requires a server with more oomph than a Raspberry Pi4. Unfortunately it's down to hosting things without knowing/caring for how to do public hosting (realtime firewalls, blocklists, patching etc). I'm sure the logs are 99.9% filled with queries that aren't from actual forum users.

One thing I noticed today is that the HTTP service (port 80) is down. Previously, connecting via unencrypted HTTP would redirect you to the (encrypted) HTTPS service (port 443). Now, trying to connect via HTTP just times out. In other words: http://www.atari-forum.com/ ceased working, whereas https://www.atari-forum.com/ works fine (for me). Does it work on your Linux PC if you use the https link?

I'm using Debian Linux, Firefox and HTTPS only to. It was a bit slow the past days and now it's fast(ish) again (it's on my side, I'm using a pi hole and unblock origin which takes some time to go the Filters). Have you tried the usuall ways: clear cache, delete cookies, look over your DNS settings?

Yes, seems to be back to normal operation here, too. So whatever you did, it seems to have worked ;) Thanks for that.

It would be Dal who would have done whatever was needed. With a sledgehammer ... possibly :)

Yep, this might take a bit of time to properly resolve, but I'm on the case.

Btw, not sure if this is related but since some time linking AF via plain http:// stopped working so many links on the web look like pointing to a dead server.

Hm?

Does your desktop browser maybe use HTTP; perhaps because you're using an old bookmark or old browser history entry? In Olivier's case, this was the problem: https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... 86#p471286

Firefox has a "https everywhere" like mode an redirects http to https automatically. Additionally, my bookmark is https already. Anyways, it's working now again.
