Forum is unusably slow

[Nancy OShea]

Currently 80-120 second delays for redirecting to stats.adobe.com.  Really?   I'm just moving between boards here.   And this new notice is so embarrassingly amateurish as not to be believed.

Hi Nancy, we're aware and are working on a solution. Thanks for the report!

Hi Nancy, just following up that the performance degradation issue was resolved around 2:30 pm PT. Thanks for the report.

NOT Fixed at all. Pages load extrememly slow. Some times I get site can't be reached errors.

Every other, and I mean EVERY OTHER, site Snaps up on my screen.

Extremely slow and I have a fibber connection that is 90+ Mbps up and down. Adobe.com loads in under 2 seconds. The user guide loads in under 3 seconds all the time. Learn AE. Just loading this forum takes 30 seconds or more most of the time and if I leave the site and come back I'm always logged out. To login again takes well over 30 seconds every time. Once I have the forum open clicking on a thread takes 15 to 20 seconds. When I'm writing a reply it is taking a very long time to upload screenshots. It seems like the forum is slowing down every day. This slow down is consistent on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and my IOS mobile devices. The new Brave browser is still slow but it is about twice as fast as the other browsers. I'm guessing it is faster because Brave blocks about everything by default.

By contrast, Linkedin loads up in about 3 seconds, it takes about 3 seconds to add a post, and images are uploaded almost instantly. Something is either rotten with the code or the servers. Because the Brave browser is consistently faster than the other browsers II think it is probably a problem with all of the scripts that are running. I count about 40. This needs to be addressed soon.

I'm not blaming Khoros for these latency issues.  The DIY site builder called Weebly uses the same Khoros forum platform.  Their boards and posts don't take 200 seconds to load. And they're not suffocating their system with a boat load of data tracking scripts.

Certainly, I feel slow. Even though the optical line is over 100Mbps, you may feel the experience of a web site in the ISDN line age (although it may be a bit extreme).
It is not just Khoros's problem.
Experience Legue forums, using the same Khoros, will also display posts without stress. I don't think it's the same Adobe-provided forum.
Isn't the specific processing of Adobe Support Folum the cause of the decrease in performance?

Same for me since yesterday evening.

And I've been up almost all night until now.

If it is relevant, a few users have been receiving emails from  what appears to be scammers, and one of them reported being redirected to a page outside of the support forums.

See here: 

• one reported a crash, even though I don't think it is related, but just in case : https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/acrobat-crashes-when-i-go-to-edit-gt-preferences/m-p/10882460... 
• Customer received weird email  and reported it here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/order-cancelled-by-adobe-no-given-reason-no-given-contact-det... 
• Reported scamm and what appears a browser hi-jacking: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/scammed/m-p/10881570#M238132 
• User reporting a lot of popups and URLs opening when working Tax forms may or may not be related: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/can-t-print-pdf-files/m-p/10880944#M238094 

Aside from that a few individuals wanting to cancel subscriptions.

Chatbot overload? DDoS? worm?

[Nancy OShea]

I don't mean to beat a dead horse but the problem is not fixed.  Page load latencies are worse than ever. 

[Just Shoot Me]

Is the server system this forum runs on using some kind of DIAL UP CONNECTION?

It certainly can't be a Broaddband connection to the Net.

Forum is super slow, beyond a point it is quite unusuable.

[Peru Bob]

I keep another tab open and am able to view and answer three other threads from a non-Adobe forum while I wait for the next Adobe forum page to open, so it isn't my slow internet connection.

[John T Smith]

Down speed 319 - Up 18 - via Xfinity cable modem

I don't have a stopwatch, but NO other site I visit is as slow as these forums

[Just Shoot Me]

John T do you have a Smart phone? If you do you have a Stop Watch.

[John T Smith]

Today, Feb 16, forum is MUCH faster to load... don't know yet about posting a reply, will see how long this takes to process

Added... about 2 seconds to post a reply... I don't know what changed behind the scenes, but speed is now acceptable

[Ann Bens]

It is getting better.
