in reply to Selected parts of the site are now static for Anonymous Monks

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:

  1. Connection to https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=861371 took a while but got there in the end.
  2. Two attempts to login: both very slow; first timed-out.
  3. Three attempts to access Nodes You Wrote: all timed-out.
  4. 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.

    Nodelets certainly add load, but they are not the overall reason.

    You might improve your personal experience by "some" percentage by deactivating all nodelets in your settings.( Which is a nice workaround thanks)

    But I don't have your slashdot nodelet activated, and it took me today half an hour to get my post thru.

    Cheers Rolf
