## Lately I’ve been having intermittent problems loading the forum - even when I have full bars on my iphone and I’ve turned off my vpn it can load at a snail’s pace and I give up after 30 seconds or so. If I try going to another website I have no problem. This has happened to me multiple times over the past week or so and I’m wondering if anyone else is having the same issue or if the forum is undergoing maintenance? Thank you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hi Dorie. It’s the site not your phone. It happens to me once in a while I don’t know why either, unless there is a server issue. Let’s try to note the date and time next time so we can give the team @CommunityAdmin more information to work with. Thanks!

@wadawabbit @joe, today, just a couple of minutes ago, the Forum opened instantly on my Chromebook so I tapped the icon on my phone prepared to count seconds - the app opened on android before I got to 1.

I have noticed some delay opening lately, but not exclusively this site.

It happens infrequently Dennis. When it does you’ll think your phone is offline.

@joe What I’ve noticed over this past months is the number of “crawlers” blocked by the system has been extraodenly high, well up in the thousands. Perhaps Discourse has increased protection.

Other servers are also aff, many days lately i need to close and reopen my Microsoft email in order for it to load.
