XF 2.1 My site has suddenly become very slow - I changed nothing.

Hey there. Recently members and admins have been complaining about site load time. This is the first time in 5 years of running the forum, yet I have made no updates or changes to the site in over 12 months. I was wondering if folks here could help me troubleshoot as to why that might be.

The forum is www.trancefix.nl

Thanks

Loaded in less than a second (almost instantly) on every page for me. I was even using a VPN.

Slow here...

just going from .nl to .nl/index.php took a few seconds for the redirect to happen.

How are you doing the redirect? dns? htaccess or web/nginx.conf? cloudflare? with xf?

that might help diagnose where the delay is taking place.

Fairly quick when I tried. A second or two. The images load fractionally slower. Have you checked the first contentful paint load times on page speed insights? I managed to reduce mine by making home page images as webp.

It also shows diagnostics for various things that could be slowing down a site.

Did you end up doing anything or did it just resolve on its own? Site is loading quickly for me but I'm experiencing the same issue over the last couple of days and my host is telling me the server looks fine.

It loaded fine for me. Took around a second.

Loaded fine for me from Canada. I tried several links, all fast.
