***Addendum - since this was first posted in March 2025, RS has had several periods of "sluggishness" or slow page loading. In most cases, it appears it was from the site being "attacked" and the mods got on it. If the site is slow over the course of hours or days, it's likely the case and you can take the opportunity to get away from the screen and catch up on other things....


Original post:
Rokslide has gotten rather "bogged down" in the past week for me. Specifically, if I click on a thread or any other clickable item it takes much longer than it traditionally did. My connection is reliably 500 Mbps on a wired internet connection and this is the only site I am getting the delay. It does not matter what time of day or night. It's still tolerable, but when things go from instantaneous to boggy and it continues for days it suggests an issue.
 
Maybe the AI bots are dragging it down? I suppose it would take an admin to know for sure.
 
Same, slowest site I deal with on both wired connection and WiFi. Didn’t use to be the case
 
Took like 40 seconds to open this post so yes it must be.

Was complaining to the wife yesterday that our internet was acting up, she claimed normal, turns out this site was all I had been trying to use and everything else was fine.
 
Very slow recently

The site on my mobile is also off-colored.
Not light themed or dark themed, its a weird combo. Happened at the same time as the slow internet.

Something changed and it seems related
