Is anyone else finding OzBargain pages are taking forever to load intermittently this morning?
Yes, I have double checked my internet connection, and I have no issues with other high traffic websites.
Extremely Sluggish Site Performance

Yeah, same here and also pages not loading at all, 404 errors etc. I think the site is getting smashed or its hosted on AWS and they are still having issues from yesterday.
It took me two reloads to read your responses above. This is really bad! 😥
Yes, causing lots of double posting by angry people who aren't used to this site behaving like the Bonds site during sales or the old '
CrashCatch of the day' site at midday…Yes, everyone is busy refreshing the lacklustre deals so far!
Look at the front page. Theres a new bargain posted every 2 minutes nearly. Servers are getting served
Maybe some competitor is DDOSing
some competitor
Ausbargain?
If this forum post was a deal it would have 1k votes by now…
ozbargain getting ozbargained
If you are not hitting refresh every second then you're missing out mate! (joke)
Cough. Anyone know any good deals on AMD Epyc CPU's?
If you bought a dozen Techfast PCs and distributed the load between them it would do the trick ;)
They'll take 14 business days for delivery though, so might not be quick enough for putting off the fire right now.
Put load on aws , it will auto scale up and down..
Maybe for next time 😉 Based on this year's sale I would expect next year to become Black Friday week rather than day.
not worth looking on ozbargain during black friday for minor deals. If the total savings aren't over $1000 youre wasting your time, save the money for a holiday.
Scotty called, and he would like you to surrender your OzB membership.
Make sure if it's not loading on one device, to try loading it on another 3 devices simultaneously so you can see what device is quickest.

Bring it down?
Well. If you do not need to post deals, post comments, vote on deals & comps — just want to browse the deals. Then Log off and browse OzBargain as a guest would make the site faster, as most pages will be served from cache. You can reload the New Deals page as often as you want and there will be little impact to the system load. We (the mods) even discussed the possibility of kicking off users to ease the load.
Wow can’t believe what a difference logging out makes!
How did you post this while logged out?
If we log out then how do we neg jv :(
Shake your fist in the air
Yep, that works. Browse from incognito.
But if you log us off, we can't raise pitchforks in the forum about the site having one bad day, in what seems like the first time.
Edit added some commas
The actual Black Friday from a fortnight ago unhappy for an entirely different reason.
I use my mobile as a hotspot and everything is fine
I can tell you it wouldn't have been fine yesterday morning regardless of which network you were on.
