Site Slowness

[Leo Gura]

I figured out why the site has been loading so slow. The site has been overrun by Facebook bots who wasted all the server resources.

We are starting to block them now which should speed things up.

Attack of the bots, this is war.

Thank you, Leo.

AI bot crawling could slow it down too. If you don't want that, you could add a rule in your robots.txt file to prevent it.

Thanks Leo

Damn lol

Literally yesterday I was going to comment about this. Funnily enough when I tried to log in it was so slow I gave up😂. Today seems to be working seamlessly👍🏻

[Jannes]

Great job!

Awesome

@Leo Gura Is that also you got 507 errors so frequently? I suggest you hire more staff members and even program an AI algorithm that can help remove trolls and mainly spam bots that steal and waste server resources. Just a suggestion. I really love your content! Btw can you someday redesign the website UI so it scales properly on mobile? Not asking you to go ultra fancy but right now your website is really hard to navigate on mobile.

@Uddi it’s really not lol.

Damn. @Hojo called it a week ago. 

The reasoning was faulty but the end conclusion (bot farming) was guessed right.

[Hafiz]

The AI wars have begun.

[Hojo]

@SincerityThe reasoning is perfect. You have 1k-2k people on every single night and no one joining for 2 months. Thats like having a 120 k view youtube video with no comments. Someone is going to want to say something or engage. I did the math with AI and it said there are 50 real people here at any moment. It would be like having a permanent twitch stream up with 2 k viewers and no one commenting for 2 months. Not 1 single commenter in 2 months. AI said guests not having to sign up to view is perfect for bot farming.

Yes, I plan on hiring a web developer to do a mobile version and make some improvements to the blog so it is easier to search and navigate.

I will also move to site to a better server so it will be faster.
