I'n not experiencing this myself (right now), and I can probably explain an earlier slow down today about the time of your post, so let me know if this is a recurring issue.
this is a recurring phenomenon
right now
the first thing i do when something is amiss is check on my download speeds
streaming video, unless i'm incorrect, is the most egregious offender
since spectrum/charter increased download speeds to 500 mbps i have zero issues with accomplishing anything i want via the internet

except for this website

i will go and make a few more moves in my games, and watch with amusement/dismay as i tap the "submit" link and wait

now, it is true that when i estimate the time it takes between the tap and the execution it's in the neighborhood of 1 to 2 seconds (metric)

considering i am used to it being nearly instantaneous and the site setting up the next board in the same dang flash, i realize its the same as complaining about the temperature being off by two degrees F

it's happening right now

Thanks for the update. I can see the pattern (that matches your report too) and will be investigating today - and hopefully a solution.

The site response seems a little slow in the morning up to lunchtime in the U.K
I assumed it was something to do with the server updating early morning US time.
The response is instant later in the day.
It's only about a 2 or 3 second delay when it's slow so not really an issue for me
I am retired so have plenty of time!

I'm looking at it now. I can see the severs being heavily loaded every 3 hours, like clockwork, so some DOS caused by an Ai spider probably.

Right now it is being loaded - hence the slow down.

edit : I will be hopefully blocking the cause of this soon, resolving the issue.

I see that. Can we expect a bit of a “rebate”?🤔😲😁

June 12/25 9:27a.m. my time here in Eastern Canada. I have been dragging for about the last 20 minutes and it seemed to get slower as time went along.

UPDATE: June 12/25 Time 9:40a.m. my time in Eastern Canada. Site seems to be responding normally again.


AI spider is the most ominous term i've yet heard about internet infections

is it a ddos attack?

Intentionally or not, it is, yes. It is coming from Google's cloud platform, so one of their customers is misbehaving. I have filed a complaint. (And will play whack-a-mole for the time being).

I am retired also Dave, but it can still be irritating when you have over 200 games on the go. I blame it all on Donald J. Trump!!!! 😉
