I’m not sure if this is happening solely on my end, but this site was impossible to log into last week, and is now running soooo slow. Does anyone else have this issue?

I'm actually finding it much faster this week, although it was offline last week for a stretch of time

Yes we had a problem with server on Wednesday/Thursday (had to rebuild the site) and now we're having an issue with bots.

Hosting company thinks it's chatGPT we're trying to get blocked.

Well it was nice while it lasted.

I just logging in a few times today, speed seems fine. About 1 second for page to load

How long is it taking to load for you ?

Easily over 15 seconds just to load the page to type this reply. It'll be another 15+ to submit it.

Getting the verification screen multiple times per session as well. Just a slog to browse through.

Ok that seems a lot longer, plus if getting the verification, are you using a VPN by any chance?

No VPN, just on my wifi.

No idea, we'll see if it improves

Things were pretty slow for me too. 15+ seconds for me too. I use a VPN. Website was still slow after disabling VPN, but strangely its now super fast after enabling the VPN. Not sure what happened.

Yes it varies depending on how many bots were getting - right now it's normal speed, but was running slow around 9:30 last night. Will keep you updated
