Is anyone else experiencing shiachat being extremely slow to load pages?

Yes. It is not instantaneous now. It might take 15 seconds. So annoying. :blush:

Last few days half of the time it's "504 Gateway Timeout Error" and it doesn't open at all. Some time ago they said it would go off on Saturdays and Sundays but this week it has been off half of the time even on week days. You are an old and active contributer to this blog, I thought you'd know something about the reasons.

The slowness is one thing.

But in my recent experience, the bigger problem is the error rate. I’m seeing probably close to 50% of requests ending in a 504 gateway error.

What’s going on? It’s noticeably worse after the update.

Salams,

Sorry everyone. We're on it. We moved to a new server and as usual there are growing pains. Inshallah this weekend @YaAba3abdillah will work his magic.

For a while it was slow for everyone. Then it got worse. Admins are working on it now. If Shia Islam has taught us anything, it is that we need to have more patience.

Waiting patiently for the weekend magic to work, as of Saturday(half way through the weekend when I am writing this) the bad gateway error is still a common occurrence.

I am facing the same problems, slowness as well as 504 error.

I hope that the problem will be fixed prior to the first of Ramadan Insha Allah.

**Ali** · March 26, 2023

Salams. Sorry for the delay. I think @YaAbaAbdallah did his majic as it seems super fast now?

What is the cause for the repetitive bad gateway error ? Any improvement in sight ?

Maybe there is a problem with redirecting from http to https? And perhaps the error occurs with http.

This says it is down:

https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/shiachat.com.html

Here you will not see a redirect to https if you use http://shiachat.com

Occasionally, I am still getting a problem connecting to Shiachat.com

But there seems to be a solution. If I go to a specific thread (via browser history), it's ok.

Weird.

Because those links have https. Look at my post.

Try these two different links:

http://shiachat.com/

https://shiachat.com/

It makes a difference if www is omitted.

Even then it still needs fixing.

Please don't use those links. I have an old email in my inbox with the link to my favorite topic, and I find that link and click on it to return to ShiaChat.

If there is a favorite topic that you check all the time, you can bookmark it and always get back to ShiaChat by clicking on that one.

fixing these issues (easy to fix) might help getting SC rank higher in google results.

I have been having issues the last few days. Many times the page does not load or if it does it takes a long time. I tried bookmarking a page to one of the topics but it still loads very slow. Does anyone have any additional advice on how to get into ShiaChat?

Yes, I couldn’t check the website for almost a week because it was lagging a lot. Now it’s better, thank you brother.

It appears that the problem "504 gateway timeout" is back again. I was unable to reach to this website.
