It took about 4 minutes for the site to check the problem and see if I’d gotten it right. First time it’s happened. Maybe a lot of traffic?
I’m not sure actually. Looking at my charts I see a large spike in response time at 11pm last night but that’s after this post was made. And I deployed some changes at 4pm but that seems much earlier. Your experience doesn’t seem to line up with either of those things or unusual traffic.
The site is not hosted on dedicated hardware so if some other service on the same computer got hammered maybe it could effect us? If that’s the case it’s pretty easy, I just have to spend more on the server every month. But I’m grasping at straws here and I don’t want to do that unless I’m confident it will help.
I’ll try to keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up.
