G'day Co-Rion,
I appreciate your efforts to improve the useability of the site. Thankyou.
I'll just report that I logged in about six hours ago
— "Last here: Sep 19, 2025 at 16:08 UTC (6 hours ago)" —
and experienced problems:
-
Connection to https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=861371 took a while but got there in the end.
-
Two attempts to login: both very slow; first timed-out.
-
Three attempts to access Nodes You Wrote: all timed-out.
-
Gave up and logged out.
I tried again just now and response was much improved; still a little slow but no time-outs.
One of the first things I did was to turn off the Slashdot & HackerNews nodelets.
This resulted in a noticeable improvement in response time.
I'm reasonably sure that those nodelets have been mentioned previously in relation to site sluggishness; maybe worth a revisit.
