In 2 words: the site has become very slow. Difficult to post the observation and so on. Best regards Roby ---

Its been going alright for me this evening. Is it the only site going slow for you (e.g. do a speed test). I posted about 90 obs in the past few hours but have had slowdowns previously at this time of day but before the hardware upgrade yesterday. ---

site is slow for me too a bit but forum is fine. especially when submitting an ID (like min 10-15 sec), or adding an observation takes (like 20-25 sec) delay. if this is the case of being slow 🙃 ---

The iNat site is fine for me (in Canada). Moth Photographers Group and BOLD have been deadly slow for a couple of months now, though others say it is fine for them. I use both for ID’s, so it’s a real PIA. I suspect it has something to do with anti-virus software, because one of my old computers with minimal anti-virus software runs both at normal speeds, in spite of having minimal RAM. Perhaps that is the problem? ---

My Mac works fine. I have no problems with other sites, not even on Youtube or sites with photographs. I don’t know what caused this slowdown. Very slow to open photos on iNaturalist. Once the page opens, does it sometimes select me the whole page? Incredible. ---
