Site Appears Real Slow

[5/0]

Anyone else experiencing this?

[Fishin Dad]

Yes.  Both home and work.  Multiple devices tried.  

[Jig Man]

Real slow on my ipad.

[Way north bass guy]

I just noticed it this afternoon as well. Maybe there’s some site work being done that’s slowing things down?

I posted this earlier,

  It's been this way since 7AM.    jj

Slow I wouldn't mind - it's this message...

 

"Secure Connection Failed

The connection to www.bassresource.com was interrupted while the page was loading."

 

...that irks me.

[pauldconyers]

I assumed some sort of maintenance or upgrade going on.

[islandbass]

Thought it was just me as well. Snails come to mind or watching paint dry, lol.

For over 2 days..??  I show a http2 protocol error when the site won't load.

[JediAmoeba]

It reminds me of those days long forgotten with the 28800 (or slower) dial up.

[DanielG]

to chime in.... slow the past couple of days. When you click it seems to hang awhile before the page loads. I don't know where the server is but we are having tornadoes in the midwest, High winds and rain in the northeast, fires and power out in the west... and a bunch of other stuff. Maybe the signal is being rerouted to bypass these issues. I think the net works that way.

Has anyone tried getting in touch with Glenn or any of the other admins? maybe they can address the slow issues, I only go on here with my computer so I can't really speak for the mobile guys.

 

[Glenn]

Hey guys, thanks for bringing this up.  The internet connection on my end has been on the fritz, so I thought it was just me.  But now that I know it's a server issue, I will investigate.

 

Thanks!

Seems to be working better now..10:14 pm PDST.

 

Still getting interment slow downs..at 11:38 pm.

It's an intermittent problem, so you'll have periods when it works fine, and then all of the sudden it doesn't.

 

It's going to take awhile to slueth this one.  Appreciate your patience.

When I was a Network-Admin, I HATED those intermittent errors.

 

I feel your pain, boss.

[Fairtax4me]

I thought it was just me because I’ve been in the mountains for the last week and have had very patchy service anyway, and I’m in the “tornados and flooding” part of the country. 
 

No errors have shown for me yet, but if I get one I’ll post it.

I think it's the Russian's spying on how to catch Bass.

This isn't slow, you want slow? Try using an old TRS80 and having to know some Basic Language to get around. 4 MHz and dial-up, wow that was fast!

A Trash80. Now that was a computer....

[Mhan7]

This seems to have been a bad week for DDoS attacks.  It's been happening A LOT.

 

Admin -  you may want to pursue that angle.  I identified a DDoS on another forum about 5 or 6 days ago.  Thursday, there was some sort of an outage in my area that took out both internet and mobile data (yes, cell phones and internet service) for over an hour.

Back in my Air Force days there were several of us with 1st gen PCs. One guy had a Trash-80, another had an Apple-II and I had a Commodore-64. Those were the days of 300baud (.0003 meg) connection speeds.

 

Fun fact - wife and I met in a chat-room on Quantum Link, both of us on C-64s...she was in FL I was in MN. This was 6 years before the internet. When Q-Link added the ability for Apples and IBMs to log in, they changed their name...to America Online.

This is getting to be a sort of "whose is bigger" kind of thread ?.

 

I had the original TRS-80 back in 1977. It sold for $668, had a white letter asci screen, ran at 1.78 mhz and had 4 whole K of ram. You saved programs to a Radio Shack cassette tape recorder. It took several minutes to save a less than 1k program. You pretty much needed to type in all your stuff in basic. I had a magazine subscription to 80-Micro that printed programs that were sometimes pages long to type in. My first line driven word processor was done that way with no printer available... I was 22 yrs old then. Graduated to Apple products after that and eventually to Apple Macs in 1984 to where I am today. It was the wild west of technology then. 150 baud dialup long distance call to  AOL, A book the size of a thick catalog to get yourself hooked up with an IP address years later. Bulletin board systems instead of the internet. Then Mozilla, later to be Netscape Navigator, the only and king of browsers then and it's distance cousin today, Firefox. Eventually it adopted graphics. Talk about super slow downloads. You could make a sandwich waiting for a simple page to load. It was all pretty exciting then though.... I was one of the early geeks.... or maybe it was just nerd.

It's probably bots or a DOS attack. I would start by checking the access logs to see what is going on. You may find a common IP or IP range that is slamming the site. A lot of times it's bots searching for a file to exploit that may or may not be on your site. The access log might also reveal specific bots you want to disallow in your robots.txt.

 

My best guess is it's bots from the Asian continent. Most of these bad actors don't even bother going through a proxy server. Been there, done that.
