So, today problem started. Whole page been loading very slowly and sometimes pages don't load at all and just show blank page.

Edit: My connection shouldn't be problem, all my downloads/MMORPG gaming works normal without slowdown.

The site has been loading really slow for me too. I've tried going to other sites and I have no problems with those so it's not my connection either.

Over-traffic?

It's been happening for days, it's even affecting MALgraph and any other site connected to MAL like the compatability finder. They are supposed to be implementing a new PM system soon IIRC and fixing the security problems so they can get img tags up, maybe it's that.

Same for me, and when I don't get them, the page loads and displays really slowly from up to its way down.

I get this message every time i refresh a page, or try to open a new one:

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

It seems that this site is busy!

I don't get any errors - but I do get either;

- EXTREMELY LONG load times
- Only half the page or thread being loaded
- Just a blank white page

This has been happening a few days now. I assume with how consistent it is that it's not a DDOS or anything though.

Maybe implementing security things for the img tags or implementing the new PM system.

Yeah, I meant to say it might be what you were saying, but I already clicked submit for my edit and it was such a pain to load back up again I just skipped out.

I do hope that's the case, but would it really take this many days of constant horrible loading to do that? I don't know much about that sort of thing.

Ok, I know the feeling.

I have as much of a clue as you do, I sure hope so though. If this became permanent that would be horrible, I can't even open my list fully.

Same here, the load lags sometimes, and it is slow at loading.
I knew it wasn't my computer and probably MAL tho.

I have noticed lately that MAL load very slowly. And this cannot be because of my own connection. I have cleared the whole browser a lot of times (with CCleaner) and tried for example: facebook, streaming anime, etc. And it goes very smoothly. But when I get here it sometimes takes a while to load the page. It doesn't matter if it's my own profile page, the forum index, etc. It's just generally slow.
So the only thing I can think of is that there are more users than your servers can handle(?). I'm not saying I'm 100% sure of that, but it's possible (with the recent DDoS attacks in mind too). That's something that shouldn't happen when you have such a successful site as this.

Please, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to bad mouth MAL in any way. I really enjoy this site. Simple design, simple usage, etc. Just the way it's supposed to be.
But I gotta ask: are the servers you have right now up for the job? Can they handle all traffic on this site smoothly? And are you planning on getting new servers or upgrading them?

It can just be me too who's being too picky or just plain stupid. Does anyone else notice the lag(/high latencty)?

Peace!

The problems with pages loading properly and the site being slow in general is due to DDoS attacks on MAL's servers. With the measures taken by Crave after the downtime in September, the site is not going completely down, but the loading times are still affected.

Since the attacks mostly occurred last weekend (Oct 13ish) and I wasn't notified about the situation until mid-week, I did not post, hoping that the issue would not re-appear. Unfortunately, it seems the attacks resumed this weekend. Crave is looking into the problem and hopefully the site will return to normal again soon.

Edit: Threads Merged.

Thanks for the update.

Is this ddos attack at the same level that took down the site before? I'm curious.

If it is, it certainly is not as effective as the previous one was; that one was a one-hit KO.

It takes a page 4 min. to load and often doesn't at all.
None of my other sites are loading this slow. It's not just on my computer either. Have had this problem for a few days now.

Same here usually the MAL page loads within 5 to 7 seconds. Today it started around 2pm here. Page would take like 2-3 minutes to load, and I also the Incapsula screen when MAL didn't load. I know it's not my internet because I've gone to other sites and my Internet works fine.
