HobbySquawk security certificate and sluggish page loading?

[xviper]

The security warning is very consistent now. Delay in loading very slow.

[RRHandy]

I have no warnings but can take up to a minute to load a page or a thread, and a reply is like it is displaying bit by bit till fully loaded.

[xviper]

Did it again. Here are a couple screen shots. The first is usually the first thing I see:



I'll then click "Continue to site" and it takes me to HobbySquawk but everything is really slow. However, today, for the first time when I force it to "continue", it gave me this:


I then refresh and it takes me to HobbySquawk.

Again, HobbySquawk is the only site that does this among the dozens and dozens of sites I visit each day.

Works normally this morning.

It's not doing it now. It seems to cycle. Just before this, it needed to be "forced" to go to HobbySquawk. Next time it gives me the warning, I'll take a screenshot and post it here. End of the day here. Will see if it happens tomorrow.

Please post an image of the security warning you are getting. I am unable to replicate that on any browsers.

If possible, please clear your browser's cache or load hobbysquawk.com in an Incognito browser and let me know if that fixes the security warning.

[RRHandy]

Slow for me now.

[xviper]

Same. Both Chrome and Edge warns about "security". Slow to load.

(Over 30 seconds to load this reply.)

[RRHandy]

Slow for me this morning.

[xviper]

Lightning fast now. No "warning" about security.

[xviper]

This session, still warned about security certificate from Chrome and Edge, but told to go to HobbySquawk anyway. Posting a reply to a thread just now still slow.
Edit .................. this time only 8 seconds, so getting faster.

Showed 505 code.. whatever that means

[f4u ausie]

Still slow here.

Hi everyone,
We made a few changes to our web server this evening to address the slowness issue. Please let us know how the forum is performing so we can continue to fine tune.

Thanks

This current attempt to open this site was denied by both Chrome and Edge. I told it to go to the site anyway and after a delay, it opened. Something is happening in the background where the browsers can't see a valid security certificate. Once in, it does say it's "secure" but still very slow to "post reply".

Edit to add comment: It just took 25 seconds from the time I hit "post reply" for the actual reply to show up.

Hobby Squawk loads, though it is quite slow and edits are really difficult.

I have 1 gig Interweb-thingy speed and loading HS is more like WIn XP and dial-up days of yore.

I clean my cache before I click on HS, seems to help somewhat, but who knows.

Best, LB

[RRHandy]

Still intermittent here.

[xviper]

The slow down is still happening but intermittently. Most evident on Chrome but now more often on Edge. Edge refused to load H.Squawk yesterday. At the moment, both are good. Safari not a problem yet but I only use it on my Ipad.

[f4u ausie]

Mine is slow. And I'm chrome.. now ino why

[xviper]

Yes, I noticed last night, suddenly, it went back to normal on Chrome. The gremlins working in the background must have gone home.


In Chrome, it had something to do with not being able to see "https" or something like that. It sees it now. "Certificate is valid".
