Same for some other sites. There are reports of AI bots overloading websites that use Cloudflare.

Cloudflare says AI crawlers often request pages that are not cached, sending more work to a site’s own server and sometimes slowing it for human visitors.

Maybe the gods are using ToTV servers to mine Bitcoin slowing everything down, think they'll share?

It was so bad on another forum that it returned the usual Cloudflare errors for two days.

Sometimes, if it's not Cloudflare, if you think it's your computer (and if you're using a Microsoft OS computer) -
go to start.
type cmd
It'll open an old-fashioned dos window with a few lines of text on it.
Type in
Quote:
ipconfig /flushdns
and enter. There needs to be a space between ipconfig and /flushdns.
If you don't get a message saying it has to be done by an admin, you'll get a message saying that the dns has been successfully flushed.

That USUALLY clears up weird hangups for browsers that aren't related to Cloudflare.
If it doesn't clear it up, your problem isn't the dns. But doing this will not cause any harm to your computer at all, even if it doesn't help.

Don't type

If this continues, I may have to go elsewhere for amusement. I have always been tempted by whiskey and wild women.
