Past half hour or so whilst pages are loading, Dakka is taking its time.

I’ve visited other websites to rule out a device or provider issue. Does seem to be Dakka only.

Same issue here.

Actively battling it now, was over 300,000 earlier. Russia, Facebook, Singapore, and a few other generic AIs all hitting at the same time.
