Weird. I've had no issues at all. I believe Viva is hosted by Cloudflare. I would think they have robust defenses against DDOS attacks.

Thanks for mentioning it. I asked lava to look at whatever one looks at and a few minutes later he said, "everything looks good under the hood
".
It can be frustrating and of course I have no explanation. It hasn't been happening here recently, though it did in the past (not recent). We do have excellent security though the hosts.

So, what makes a page load super slow? I'm curious and asking for myself.
Throwing these words out there, does it help if you
Restart your device? We have cookies, would that make your device respond the way it did? Dump them? Empty your cache (a phrase I hear)?
I really don't know anything and it's frustrating that I can't help. But I probably can't.

I'm wondering if it might be an ISP problem; like if everyone having trouble is using Comcast or something. Folks who are having trouble, how do you connect to the net?

The error code that comes up
The error code that comes up is Error Code 503, which usually means that the host computer is unavailable (Cloudflare isn't the host computer) due to being too busy. That can be caused by attacks, maintenance, bad configuration of the server or a few other things. I only access Viva via desktop/laptop. As I mentioned above, this is the only site that is having issues.
And DS, I only use a DOS emulator via dial up on a Tandy 1000 to access Viva.

Does Cloudflare just do the DNS for Viva, skifurthur?
