  • Getting so popular that your site is bogging down?

    Posted by Steven Sharp on 07/11/2022 at 20:48

    Hello! I have noticed that the MLT site response time is very slow. I realize that part of the problem is the distance between me (Kansas, USA) and your servers (Dublin, Ireland?). Is the slowness because of an increased amount of traffic on your site due to your increasing popularity? There are times when pages just time out and never load. While writing this post, the page has stopped responding five times. Anyway, I appreciate what you’re doing and I hope that the slowness is a temporary problem. Thank you!

    Hi Steven, this is a temporary issue, nothing to do with distance or volume of users, nor representative of the user experience. Everything normally works like a charm. MLT are dealing with a server problem they are working on to rectify. Hope you enjoy all the top notch rich MLT content at the MLT Club, once things return to normal. 🙂

      I have always had a very slow experience. After they improved things for the Why? release, it got much faster, but still about 400% slower than any other web site, even others hosted in the UK. Now it’s almost completely out to lunch, so I’m glad to hear it’s a current issue being worked on.

    As it turned out it was only partially a server problem but mainly a DDos attack. Fortunately we could handle both and the site is back to speed now. The DDos attack is still going but since we blocked the most important IPs and installed some firewall defense it doesn’t have much impact anymore.

      So sorry you have to deal with crap like that, but so grateful you were able to deal with it. Thanks so much for all your work, both musically and otherwise!

      Rudolf, wow a DDOS attack, I never would have thought. I guess when your website starts to get big, it draws the attention of the hackers. Glad you got that resolved, thanks so much for all you do, and hope you got caught up on your sleep from all the long hours trying to resolve it.
