My websites started loading extremely slowly

Both of my websites CNAME linked and the default one (polkas.) randomly stared loading extremely slowly. Looks like there might be some crush from the pythonanywhere.com servers side. What is even better every nth refresh they load with regular speed (under a second). I like very much your website so I hope this is some rare event. Ps. tested on different machines and Internet connections.

A few minutes ago it seems to go back to normal, I hope permanently:)

Is it still OK? Do you see anything unusual in your logs for the time when you experienced the slowdown? Do the views that were being hit at that time do some db queries / external requests etc.?

Yes, everything works correctly or I should say as expected. If such scenerio occurred once more I will try to get more information. I created this topic as I want to check if you are aware of some server issues. I have a lot different king of info in my server log (buried nodes etc.). Nevertheless nothing special during described period.

Is it possible that it was your local network problem?

I wrote in my first comment that I tested it on different machines and Internet connections. Thus for sure not a network problem.

OK. Do let us know if it happens again; we can compare the timestamps in these forums with the server logs (they all use the same timezone) so we can take a look. There certainly any load spikes that we could see at the time around your first post in this thread, though.
