Since a few hours the whole forum seems to react very slow.

Actually it's getting worse...

Interesting, same here... system usage (CPU,RAM,Network) seems to be fine, and cloudflare doesn't seem to be reporting anything unusual... :think:

Edit:
I've confirmed with tank that there was an outage, it seems to have happened between 2am and 5am NYC time.
No worries everyone, this should be resolved hopefully soon enough. Updates from tank will follow. :thumbup:

Still getting 2-3 minute delay then timeout. Is it some interaction with Cloudflare?

@timg11, no timeout here but also 2-3 minute delay for pages to load.

I had some SQL errors when I visited the forums - how long does a response from the SQL server take?

Still incredible slow! Is actually anyone working on the issue?

The thing on DigitalOcean has been resolved yesterday. Unfortunately, that didn't help.
@joedf, @tank, any news?

Didn't work, I don't think it's cloudflare, since the initial Request is lagging but then everything else after is blazing fast...
I think it might be a rogue php script with a sleep or something....

I don't know if this might have anything to do with it or not, but I just got an AJAX request error that I have never seen before. After it appeared, I had to switch to another browser to get here to post this. Have there been any Ajax-related changes lately?

I haven't seen any errors but I have to log-in each time now and that process is super slow as well. No improvement since yesterday.

Another issue is logging in to the forums- opening up a thread such as this in a new tab/window and do something like click Full Editor- and all of a sudden you are logged out again.
Here's a Lighthouse audit- may be of some use.
