Every Page loads slow

198

For about a week or so now I have been having an issue of every page on the website loading slow. I know its not my internet because every other website works fine just this site. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this as well.

I can't say I am having the same issues but @josh may be able to offer some assistance. It may not be a bad idea to mention things like browser, OS, country, and what not as it could be possibly related to those and something on the site.

Nothings really changed on the site for a couple weeks so I'm really not sure. Yeah if you could share your browser, browser version, and country that might help

I'm using chrome Version 57.0.2987.110 and im in USA. I also happened on the version of chrome right before that one not sure what exactly the number was because I updated to this one seeing if it would fix it.

I actually just downloaded the most recent version of firefox as well to test and its doing the same thing where every page loads extremely slow

I've been having the same issue for about a month. Images are extremely slow to load (if they load at all) and the rest of the site itself isn't much faster.
Same browser and location as OP.

Occasionally I have this problem too. It's usually not too bad, but Anilist tends to load sluggish for me more often than other sites. The search function seems to have the worst lag for me.

I think it's been a little better since updating to Chrome 64bit beta, if that helps anyone else. Location is USA.

We did make some changes about a month ago that could be related, I'm not having any issues myself but I am located a lot closer to the server so that could be related.

1st we disabled cloudflare which caches images and other static content, we were having issues with it and its arguable if it really helps increases speeds but I've enabled it again to see if it helps at all.

2nd HTTP was disabled, meaning you can only use AniList via HTTPS, which is the secure way of making web requests, it may be some anti virus software is messing about with the requests and making it slower, so if you have anti virus (excluding windows defender) try disabling or updating it and see if that helps at all.

The other changes made only increased the speed of AniList, by a fairly significant margin, so its odd people are having issues with the site being slower than before now.

  Im not sure which of the changes you made fixed it but it seems to be working fine now, ill test for a few more days and report back just to make sure its not a one day thing. If anything I think the cloudflare probably helped the most since images where what I had the most trouble with recently but as of right now its instant on the browse page and my list loads instantly also/

  +1, it's working far better for me now as well. Images are loading now. They're still a little slow, but at least they're loading!

After a few days of testing everything is still running good since the changes you made so i assume it was one of those but thanks for the quick fix.
