Is WP having server issues?

Post Reply New Topic

I can barely PM or make a post for a few seconds before WP becomes in accessable. Most of my other sites I visit are fine. I thought I'd question if it was me or if WP is having problems. Thanks!

WP is behaving very well for me here - I've had no problems for some time now.

Thanks. Must be my internet then. I've hated I've written a post or PM and then I "Can't find the server wrongplanet.net" etc. So aggravating! Working ok "now" for how long I don't know. Darn internet!

Ah yes that does sound like a local(ish) problem.
Thing is, there are many routes and many machines between you and WP (same for me), and any one of those misbehaving slightly could cause connection problems. I do see that sort of thing occasionally, with WP and other sites, but it rarely lasts for more than 30 minutes or so.
Sometimes the problems are exclusively caused by my ISP so if yours has a status page or help line, it might be worth checking to see if they're having some problems.
Not that it fixes anything, but at least you know.

There's some recent issue, I think. My status line never says "Done" any more, it keeps saying "Transferring data from data.gosquared.com…" or, what is worse, I can't connect to WP at all. It just keeps "Waiting for cdnjs.cloudflare.com…" These are proxy issues about which one cannot do anything.

I've had the odd issue with whatever CloudFlare system is nearest to me and seen similar messages, but they've always cleared within a few hours.
As I preview this post I do see that name appearing on the browser status line but it appears very briefly, along with others as the page is displayed, so I'd guess it's a CloudFlare problem local to you which will be quickly resolved.

Hi Cornflake,

When this occurs, if you could attempt to provide two bits of feedback for us to look into the issue it would be greatly appreciated.

1) A traceroute
2) Output of http://www.wrongplanet.net/cdn-cgi/trace if you can access it.

There are intermittent issues with servers which happens when you have thousands in production globally. If they don't resolve within a few seconds to minutes, the output above provides us with a way to report issues.

Feel free to email the output to noc at sliqua.com.

Thanks,
Alex
