Forum issues, anyone?

Has it suddenly got much faster for everyone else or just me? Strangely I haven't made any changes since it got faster (I was working on a copy on a different server)

Still slow for me. I can't access the site from forum.growweedeasy.com. I have had to find a page in the history to gain access. Those history links still work but everything is sluggish.

I cleared the cache, restarted the computer, and was able to log on at forum.growweedeasy.com faster than who flung the chunk. Everything else is all of a sudden snippy snappy as well.

Seems to be cranking now finally!

I spoke too soon. I cannot log on to forum.growweedeasy.com with Chrome at all. I'm using Edge. It's slow but I got on. It's also sluggish again.

8:30 p.m., MST, Sunday night. STILL running slow. Yes, it randomly continues to time out or load at a snail's pace.

It's certainly not consistent. It doesn't seem to be anything like number of users, specifically malicious users as the server is only using about 11% of its available resources whenever I notice it being slow which when its some form of malicious attack that's 80% above (often 100%).

I've replicated it on a private test version too with no users but myself so it seems like it's software related. I've updated the OS, the server software and reuploaded all the vBulletin files but no luck. Something we are looking into as a quick test doesn't seem to be having these problem is switching the forum platform to Xenforo (it's been something we have been considering for a while as vBulletin is not the quality platform it was when we started using it)
