I noticed past week, nairaland has been really slow until I decided to download vpn and free basic is not just going anymore.

I think the government has a hand in it.
Seun you really need to sanitize your site before it becomes a target.

That's was true... For about 1week and some days now

I thought I was the only one .

chrome is slow but opera is not...I think it depends on your browser

Indeed.
It’s hard for to do anything on the app site except with vpn so I think some power bigger than the site have seen all the tribal going on here.

You are definitely not alone. I have been started noticing some days back. I realized it takes forever to load a web page

The reason you are experiencing that is because of too many traffic(users) from Google.


Google is sending too many traffic to nairaland recently(500,000 thousand users is visiting nairaland from Google search engine alone, every single month),

I compared this to other previous months and years, and found out that Google usually sends between 100k-150k users to Nairaland.


from the look of things it will continue to go up.


when you add that figure (500k) to other channels like Facebook, twitter, etc. and those like us that visit nairaland directory, you will find out that about 5M people is visiting nairaland every single month, which translates to more money for seun



All Seun needs to do, is to upgrade his hosting plan to another bigger level.


Before you ask me how do I know, I am an SEO Specialist.

If you try accessing nairand by midnight you will find out that it loads faster. Reason is because majority of nairaland users(70%) is coming from Nigeria, and by midnight many nairaland users are at sleep.

This reduces the number of request that is being sent to nairaland server(Cloudflare)
