UESP Server Status
I've noticed prolonged hang time on some pages today. E.g., while starting a new talk page just a few minutes ago. Earlier today I was completely unable to bring up Special:System Messages, even though other pages would load just fine at the same time. Is the server under additional load?
Or is it perhaps an ad thing? Perhaps there's prolonged delays the first time google tries to figure out what ads to apply to a particular page? I noticed that the ads for the new page that I created were indeed suited to the text of the page that I was creating -- so google must have been doing an immediate processing of the page. --Wrye 00:59, 26 February 2007 (EST)
- I haven't even been checking the site's server status over the last few days... a few other things keeping me busy ;) But a quick check right now suggests that UESP is not at all overloaded at the moment. It is possible that the ads are creating an additional delay as you suggest. The ads are obviously trying to be smart (although I've noticed a few pages where they were completely off base). --Nephele 01:11, 26 February 2007 (EST)
- I have been noticing some delays during the last month or so, too. Especially with the Special:Recentchanges page, when looking at a large number of changes (500 or so). Sometimes it even downloads with the wrong style sheet (the default monobook) or the old logo. Other times, when I click on a diff listed there I get an Error 503 page. I don't know what all this means, but you may have some ideas (I hope). --DrPhoton 03:56, 26 February 2007 (EST)

- Seems to me that it's refreshing slower if it's in a tabbed browser? (I have 2 copies of firefox open, one with 13 tabs open and one with one tab open, the one with 1 is much faster to refresh the same page.) Jadrax 15:08, 26 February 2007 (EST)
- I encountered a few slow downs last week that seemed to be related to the overall site (pauses of 30 seconds or so when no connection would work). I couldn't find an obvious cause to this (no excessive/hanging connections, no DoS, no hanging/crashed processes, etc...). On a guess I disabled the throttle extension I added to the web server some time ago (it wasn't doing anything and the original problem turned to not be related to bandwidth anyways).
- While I haven't encountered the same slowdowns since let me know if anyone else is still getting them, how often, when, etc.... and I'll continue to look into it. Things like the ads and other settings can be easily changed/disabled and then let run for a few days to see if it helps at all. Intermittent problems like this are always a pain to track down as its hard for me to catch 'in the act'. -- Daveh 18:50, 28 February 2007 (EST)
