FWIW,

To get to this point of typing this post took over 9 minutes from bringing up the page, selecting "Log In", inputting credentials, clicking on this forum option, then clicking "New Post".

I have found this forum to be "glacially" slow at times and very responsive other times. Doing some IP sleuthing, I found that the IP address geolocation is here in Colorado, not 35 miles from me. While waiting for the Forum to load, I did some ping tests, and sporadically, the ping time was over 0.5 seconds. Most of the time, in the 35-90 ms range. Which, given the distance to me, is pretty slow.

I don't know from the IP address if the host is local to the data center. I do know that over the last several days, this slow web performance occurs "not infrequently".

I had some extra time this morning to do this, and time it (admittedly, not precisely). Normally, if I faced this slowness, I would just close the browser tab and move on to my next task.

FWIW.

And now, access is nearly instantaneous.

Now is 9:09PM (UTC-7) and access is glacially slow. This started at/around 9:00pm. It has taken me this long to log in, check for new posts, bring up my post, and post this reply.
