Hi,
for some time now, I can't access https://www.xda-developers.com on two different Windows machines with firefox. Trying to access the site, I will see the black bar at the top for a second or so, then the screen just turns white and firefox keeps loading to death.
Works with chrome on the phone, though. Would anybody know what might be the issue here?
Having the same problem on my PC, using Waterfox. Can load the forums but not the main site.
Updated to the latest version of WaterFox and can view the site again.
Hello
I write to Webmaster XDA and he was experiencing an DDoS attack. Now is resolved.
Best Regards
How come XDA is so slow in general?
Long ping time when clicking on a link on the site or loading a new page? Long loading times etc.
I know Leaseweb is fast because I have dealt with them in the past...but its only XDA that I find very slow to go to.
Sometimes the xda does not load and it could be the ddos as mentioned above.
But it cant have ddos attacks all the time?
The server admins have been doing a lot of work on this lately and the situation should be improving. Thank you for your patience.
Borked again for the last 2 days now.
Posted this in another thread because I didn't know where else to. Getting the same thing, some clicks are taking over 10s to even respond (they were upward of 25s yesterday). It's not a server problem, I'm 3ms to leasweb, even less to their cdn. Anything hitting that is fine.
It's like half the site is loading from India or they are having some serious capacity problems (cache hot requests fair better for example). With threads having hundreds if not thousands of pages, trying to read 8 at a time is atrocious.
Is RSS or something else available?

Is it only me?
Or anyone else is having slow response to open any page of this great site?
I have this slowness since 2 weeks and I have the best speed available on my country: 4mb (You guys with super fast connections don´t laugh)

It's been a little slow for me from time to time, but nothing major, pages always load.
P.S. I have a 2Mb cable line at home
Dave
its ok for me
are you guys talking mega bytes or mega bits
ive got 7.2 megabits
It loads slowly trying to login and opening up a forum. Other than that it seems good. According to speedtest 25 megabits from work
It's been pretty quick for me lately. In fact, it's been better, since I no longer seem to get HTTP 5xx Server errors anymore. Speedtest.net says about 5 mbps from home over type N Wi-Fi.
Dave
@orb: Did not notice any speed difference myselft either. BTW I have a dialup connection using a USB modem . normally any page opens within 2-4 seconds (Always, should be more appropriate). Could it be that your firewall or router acting itchy?
Thanks for your reply
No it was not any firewall or router...
It happens randomly form time to time now is ok
Cheers,
I've noticed this too over the last few weeks, both at home >1.5Mb connection and even at work where the connection is 100Mb
May I add; nearly every morning about 01:30Hrs the site becomes unreachable for about 3mins. Though this may be due to backups
Forums been very slow for me. 15 seconds to just load the reply page.
The current problem discussion is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=510704
Yes, although not for weeks, bust for last 3 days, I am getting pathetically low speeds while opening pages here at New Delhi, India. Its taking around 15-70 seconds to open a page. I am on a 256 kbps line and all the other websites are working absolutely fine. Torrents are even giving 37-40 KBps / 296-320 Kbps (theoratically not possible on my connection )
But its a lot better today. I am getting pages in 3-5 seconds at the moment. I have also noticed that when its night here in India, pages start opening slow. I guess the other side of the globe is more active at that time

The site's up and running at full speed now. The admins fixed the problem around midnight (BST) last night.

the site is popular
Time to look into cachefly. It is a great option to server balance without the need for additional servers. Someone at the top should go check it out and see if it would fulfill any needs for XDA. It is worth the look after all, ad banners generate faster with more pageloads...
FYI, for me the site is painfully slow. The initial html loads fine but anything needing the forum database is at a crawl.
Love the site, thank you admins and all helpers!
im on here all the time i have a 8mgb connection and its slow from other conenctions also... not always i guess when the site gets overloaded, i wish we could update the bandwidth or w.e is causing this for the site
I still get a slow site.... when browsing the forum it takes a few secs (5-10) to open a page... and it only happens on this site
i have a 16Mb connection!
Deiota
It's slow for me also.
I have 8.89 Mbps download speed, and the XDA site is really slow today. I've noticed the page transitions were slow the past several times I have gotten on the web site, but today is the slowest I've seen so far.
for some reason it seems to be running like a turtle today...
Same here
Perhaps we are now too many users?!
I was getting 500 Internal Server errors on the home page earlier when the forums would not load for me.
Hi, i'm facing a really annoying problem.
My browser takes ages to load a page. I mean, the top div gets loaded very fast (as you expect) but the rest takes about 1 minute or more to load the rest of the page.
I have this strange problem only if working in my notebook. With my mobile everything works like a charm.
Is someone in the same situation?
Is XDA doing some maintenance stuff or something?
Thanks
Was having this issue yesterday during work but today it seems to be gone. Could have been an issue with something down the line (DNS, regional routing, whatever) that just caused a temporary slow down.
Short answer is no you aren't alone. Should be gone by now or soon.
I hope so, thanks
i have the same problem
I think I found a solution (even if it is not absolute).
Go to you profile page and set the sytle (at the bottom of the page) at xda classic
Now try to navigate... it is as fast as it should be.
At least, it is for me!

Yesterday in particular the site was slow because we had processed some upgrades that didn't go quite right. Things should be good now.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm still having the problem.
However, I tries my "solution" on another machine, and it works too.
If it can help other user, you can add to FAQ main page.
I hope it's only a matter of time as the 2010 theme is really pretty. The classic one is just a little bit... old-fashioned.
so many background scripts running, because too much function and too much rules.
post limit to access certain service, wth....
i got bugs to inform the developer but ending to make several useless posts here first.
xD
If xda very slow, be patient!
works well for me
I think i didn't get your point...
I just tried to understand what is happening here...
I also found out that changing theme speed-up the loading process, and i want to share this with other user that are having these same issue... if you want to wait ages to check a page you are free to do so, but please leave other do what they prefer!!
It occurred to me quite often in the last months but, probably, I was "great" enough to decide loading xda when they perform the maintenance of the forum...
Today i noticed a very slow loading here...
I checked my ping and noticed that everytime i open XDA my ping goes from 20ms to 1500-2000, even after not loading any threads and leaving the PC alone for many minutes. When i close XDA, ping goes down to normal.
Please fix it. Maybe some buggy ads or something else.

I think it's media.xda-forum-com... My browsers goes stuck right there.
also cdn.viglink.com is blocking for a long time
Can you please fix it?
Fix available (at least for me):
change DNS in your router config to the ones offered by opendns...
Now everything works like a charm.
i shouldn't have posted this here! just notice what section I was in (found this thread in a search)
i'm using ie9 and when i post a reply(not quick reply) and I try to click my mouse pointer in between letters of the words I type, the mouse pointer is not displayed.
Hello, this is the first time I've started up a thread thingy or whatever you call it, so please go easy on me if I've butched this up or anything. I did a fair amount of searching before deciding to post this by the way.
The browser on my Telus variant seems to lose its pleasent smooth pinch zoom after using it for a while. At first I thought it was caused by switching the UA to Desktop, but tossed that idea after I experimented with the Mobile UA and recieved the same result. Then, I thought it could be because of the Kijiji website for the cause, and tossed that idea too after it happened on this very forum. Right now I'm almost convinced that it could be because the browser starts taking up lots of RAM, because everytime the issue starts, the amount of space it rakes in is over 140mb. This is probably wrong though... I don't have any technical knowledge on this really.
My question: Is there any fix for this issue? Or is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks
i don't have lag 99% of the time
and the only time it lags is on those really bad pages with tons of ads and flash bombarments, or bad java scripted pages
kijiji loads fine no problem, however ebay some pages are a killer, but the same page also kills my browser on the PC, so at least that's consistent and you know it's a specific page or site issue an not the phone
I'm leaving xda because of slow load time and excessive adds even when logged in. My latest tablet a tab s 8.4 still takes a long time to load xda in chrome. To the point where when I find what I am looking for on the page and click it directs to somewhere else because the page is still loading and a different link ends up in that spot. I could use ad blocking software and a different app but I bet then it would load slower. It's like I'm on dial up again. I'm not much of a contributor and not rooting my gear anymore because I am finding android working very well these days on newer hardware. Maybe after my tab is 3-4 years old I may root but by then the non replaceable battery will be toast and I will buy new again.
Ps I just noticed I am an xda premium member and remember I left it over a year ago because it would not let me create shortcuts to threads involving my gear
Lol. I I just tried the app again and every time it tells me can't connect to forum. I hit refresh and it connects.
This server error comes me also in xda free app as well as in premium also.
It's been for quiet some time now. Opening threads, sub forums, new threads, anything really, all have relatively slow loading speeds compared to other websites. Up to 5 seconds for opening a forum gets annoying... Is this only me?? I have a 200 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up connection and only experience slow loading times on xda forums..
It's very annoying indeed. It could be that they are trying to push the XDA Ad-Free. But, why would someone pay if the speeds here are slow incredibly slow.
Yep, we're having a few server issues at the moment, apologies for the slow load times.
The server nerds are busy working away trying to get things back in shape

I've noticed slow load times (Everywhere) ever since the switch to https. I quite regularly get timed out and these messages pop up in my console:

Actually, on the home page i have seen a massive increase in speed (Normal page loads are still a bit slow, but for a forum of this size i dont think it runs bad at all).
