Wowhead running slow?
Return to board index

I am guessing it could just be heavier than usual traffic to the site, but Wowhead has been very slow for me the last couple days.
I had just passed it off, thinking it may have been a combination of my older PC at home, and my sometimes sketchy 3G hotspot internet, but I am at work now, on a cable connection, and a current laptop, and still getting very slow page loads.
Anyone else having this, or just little 'ol me?(##RESPBREAK##)16##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Moved to Wowhead Feedback

I'm guessing Panda haters are DDOS'ing the site.
Just a guess. I'm actually serious here.

I've had this ever since i discovered this website. The ads make it load really slowly for me. Anyone else noticed that?
Love the site btw.

It's been sluggish for me all day.
Why would anyone DDOS Wowhead? Even if they were panda haters, wouldn't they go after battle.net or something similarly official?

As a Wowhead patron, you can surf the site AD-FREE! It also helps support the site and keep it running.
But even as a patron, there are times where I'll click something and it won't load. It's probably traffic, so just keep patient :)

I tried to reply but the site was so slow--argh!
No, we're not DDOSed. It's actually the panda lovers. Our site tripled in traffic overnight, and though we'd prepared, it appears we still got slow. Nizdaar was kind enough to spend the entire day (seriously, since like 7AM) fixing it :) Thank Niz if you spot him in the wild.

Still so slow :(
And yea, the ads are obnoxious. Especially the ones that start playing sound and music without your permission. Wowhead, I really love this website and want to keep the ads on, but I feel compelled to use AdBlocker Plus because the ads on your website are just absurd.

As appreciated as Niz's efforts are, I still have to agree with the others that the site has been incredibly slow or just plain unresponsive all day, even now. Hoping it gets fixed soon, but I'm sort of glad to know it's not just me at least.

Site is very slow still.
Is it caused by the ad sites, cause I've banned a LOT of traffic from IPs that have very questionable traffic coming in to my ip.
And I mean traffic like ssh and smtp as well as other stuff which appears to me like I'm being port-scanned.
So, If one of your ads is originating from one of my banned IP's, would that cause the slow down...?

agreed...painfully slow that half the time it doesn't load at all :( and being premium member, the ads shouldn't be an issue.
is this in any way related to my daily login also not being recorded as well? i've been on at least 3-4 times today and none have given credit for the day, even after clearing cache...

Should be bumping up in speed.
