Over the last few weeks I've noticed that the web pages will load slow sometimes then 10 minutes later be totally fine.  A bit ago it was even worse for about 10 minutes.  I know something about server load was mentioned about the user ride pictures.  I can say it's on at least two different devices.  Maybe my internet, yet no other websites have the same issues while it's happening on this site.

I've noticed the same thing on two separate devices also.

I've run into this as well. 

Sometimes I can blame it on the mobile network, but not when it's on Wi-Fi.

The last few hours I've had sporadic slow/no load with this board.

We've been working on it for a few weeks, and have more improvements planned. We've been getting absolutely crushed by AI bots ingesting the entire internet to train more annoying AI models, and that's stressing some of the less-efficient code on the site. Should be fixed soon.

I wonder if it's a Google API issue and not GRM specific.  When it hangs on my desktop I can see it waiting for some Google related thing to load.

 

Possibly related, the fonts are slow to update when a page does load.

Site seems to be stumbling a lot today. Thanks Tom for responding - hope it's not too big of a science project.
