Since some time the Website (https://www.freebsd.org/) and Bugs (https://bugs.freebsd.org) are really slow: -Website needs 4.7sec to load the last element (https://www.freebsd.org/images/25thanniversary.png) -Bugs needs 6.6sec to load. Lets compare it to lets say NetBSD: -https://www.netbsd.org/ 418ms Having a slow Website is a really bad advertisement for a (normally) fast OS, remember the Amazon 100ms-study ;)
This has been an issue for at least the past 5 weeks, with response time measurements increasing significantly (consistently) at approximately the beginning November (Nov 1-2), and increasing to today.
Today, 16 seconds to load this page: https://www.freebsd.org/news/newsflash/#2021-12-07:1 It seems to be getting worse.

Thanks … (In reply to Trev from comment #2) Not so long today, for me. <https://share.firefox.dev/33bf6Nk>
(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #4) 13 seconds...not bad, do you have a 56k modem like me? ;)
This page takes somewhere between 22-30+ secs fully load: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/ 100Mbit, FTTH, Sweden
(In reply to Daniel Engberg from comment #6) <https://share.firefox.dev/3e2GkYY> Not of interest for the total duration, but (for reference only) here's a profile of a 2021-03-01 Wayback Machine capture of the page: <https://share.firefox.dev/3GRE82x>
(In reply to Daniel Engberg from comment #6) Same page (https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/) too me ~14 sec 1Gbit, Switzerland.

*** Bug 260776 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
> Was that true, is that still true, for FreeBSD Forums? Afaik, forums.freebsd.org is hosted in a different place and managed by different people.
(In reply to Alex S from comment #11) Thank you, this seems to be consistent with my experience of no perceptible unusual slowness with FreeBSD Forums, i.e. (strictly speaking) the scope of this bug might be _not_ all FreeBSD sites and services.
Created attachment 230542 [details] Screenshot: Bugzilla content missing from the web view of Bugzilla Re: duplicate bug 260776, the recent misbehaviours with/affecting Bugzilla are (to me) most remarkable. Yesterday, 2021-12-28 19:05:59 UTC bug 253149 comment 36: > … as if things are disappearing from Bugzilla then reappearing > (I'm certain that I keyed Control-F5 for the most up-to-date view … Today: as shown in the attached screenshot, the web view of Bugzilla is lagging _considerably_ behind what's received from the bugzilla-noreply@ e-mail address. This is not a local browser cache issue; Control-F5 in Firefox represented outdated content; and an initial view of the same page in Falkon presented the same outdated content. I'm not complaining; just FYI. HTH
(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #13) Sorry! Ignore that comment and screenshot. I had a brain fart. The e-mail pictured to the right was intended for me alone, unrelated to Bugzilla.
Created attachment 230722 [details] latancy for www.freebsd.org
(In reply to Wolfram Schneider from comment #15) Since Jan 2th docs.freebsd.org is fast again (<0.2 seconds). Great! However, www.freebsd.org is still slow with 2.5-3 seconds.
(In reply to Wolfram Schneider from comment #16) > Since Jan 2th docs.freebsd.org is fast again (<0.2 seconds). It would be nice to know what had been causing the problem and/or how it was fixed.
(In reply to Wolfram Schneider from comment #16) > Since Jan 2th docs.freebsd.org is fast again (<0.2 seconds). Great! The long FreeBSD Handbook still takes some time to load e.g. <https://share.firefox.dev/3r12osJ> however I expect this. As an entire book, it's truly long (compared to some neighbouring books). Top-level navigation, the three links at top right, is very fast. ---- Without quantifying: * today, Bugzilla feels _much_ faster. Since Bugzilla feels so much faster, I visited <https://www.freebsd.org/> and found the main site qualitatively faster, too. <https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rc.conf&sektion=5&manpath=FreeBSD> (a relatively long man page): around ten seconds <https://share.firefox.dev/3Ganr2n>. Fast enough for me, and I imagine that cgi stuff doesn't fall under the umbrella of this bug. Thanks to whoever's making the improvements :-)
(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #18) Bugzilla is faster, however the main-site (https://www.freebsd.org/) is still painfully slows ~10sec.
