Thanks Team! Pages are loading quickly now.

Shoutout to our wonderful overlord for fixing the problems earlier today despite the holiday. He really loves us, guys :') And of course shoutout to all of the other staff members I saw trying to help even though we're all doing holiday things still.
Quick reminder that we update our Status Site more now, and you can also see an Incident History on that page if you are curious.

Just because I'm the curious type: may we know what exactly the problem was? Like, was it just the extra load of opening trees, or something else? And what does it mean for servers, as we were told before that extra servers should spin up automatically with extra load? Or was it something totally different, and is that now fixed aka can it happen again or not?
Seems like it has started yet again. The site is getting slower and I'm hitting some blank pages that lasts for about a minute.
I don't know what just happened - Started at about 3:25 pm - White pages, 404 errors, and severe lag - Out of the blue
hoping this even goes through
[edit]
Appears that bump lasted roughly 10 minutes... My complaining banished it!
And of course, it double-posted.
Glad it's just not me. Bring more servers online. XD Doesn't help that I'm throwing random snowballs at people!

It seems like my trouble this afternoon seems to be with sapi.subeta.net
Yeah... It's awful again tonight. It's been getting worse and worse as the day has gone on. Getting pretty close to unplayable now.
Are you two still having this problem? I'm moving through pages really easily and quickly, and our motoring has pages loading at under 1 second
💖 ✨ 🤗
- It's definitely gotten better in the past half hour or so. HAs are still loading significantly slower than everything else though.
it's better now, but it's definitely something to do with the forums only. the rest of the site runs normally.
- Saturday morning update - Site is back to being slow everywhere, but like said, the forums seem to be particularly bad. (It seems to be all of the HAs loading that's slowing it down, as they're the last things to show up.)
[edit]
In the time since I originally posted, I have now been getting CloudFlare errors and 404 (Not found) pages.
I keep getting lag. Maybe I'm just crazy but it seems to be at :55 minutes for me. I mean, I got bad lag starting at 9:55 AM and again at 10:55 AM. The site struggles to load pages for several minutes then goes back to a reasonable speed. This is happening while I'm questing.
Please can the lag be addressed? This is really killing my vacation...
We understand that it's frustrating, but we are and have been addressing it.
