Description
So I've been contacting all kinds of people in the last 24 hours with no clear resolution on why sometimes the site is super fast vs super slow.
- I did manage to find https://downdetector.com/status/level3/map/ in which Level3 is one of the hops in my inet connection and it's super latent comparatively.
- Right now Europe is having better connect time than the US. Asia/Pacific is having higher latency than normal. Re: https://www.monitis.com/traceroute/
- Our VPS says everything is okay from their testing points. Tried alternate networks as well with the same intermittent results.
- We're not getting any additional DoS any more than the trapped normal.
- Traffic is nominal via our process manager (1% to 5% atm)
- Nothing unusual detected in packets... seems about normal. Some UDP traffic from google a lot but that's goo for you.
When I know anything more I'll let everyone know however there isn't much to be done as everything has been triple checked on our end (hence the dep updates a couple of times in the last few days [that's not typical for my updating], server restarts, and we did an unannounced backup since it's about that time.).
Anyhow... just letting everyone know we're on top of what we can do. Apologies for what we can't do.
P.S. When it's sitting idle in the browser (spinner spinning) it's doing nothing in the network management tools e.g. your request isn't reaching us every time atm from the test points we tried and our VPS (real person) confirmed occasionally it's taking an excessive period from their testing.
