Too many users perhaps
Yes, too many users. I wasn't prepared for this influx of users.
Happens all the time, consider cloudflare and adding some cache headers, would at least let the homepage load regardless of user count.
I would rather people not throw cloudflare at everything, it's ruining the web. Especially with those horrible browser checks that never work right and lock you out of sites.
Those are not really there by default. They’re there if you increase the threat level.
Thanks. It's back now.
Was only able to get one search to go through which took >20s. All others timed out with "We encountered an error."
Not sure the tech is ready for this to show off and first impressions are everything.
