The server is working very slowly
Hi Jeremy!
For 2 days now the s01 server has been working very slowly.
Sometimes Flag Counter doesn't even open on my page.
Can you fix this?
Regards,Jaromir K.

Re: The server is working very slowly
Mr. Jeremy, things are getting worse with server s01.
I can no longer access the statistics!
Do you intend to do something about it?

Re: The server is working very slowly
Hi yaromir13 I noticed this too...& it's still happening... very very slow especially on the 'manage your flag counter' part. Forum seems to work a bit better. I hope this can be addressed as it's very annoying!

Re: The server is working very slowly
Hi yaromir13,
We are working on speeding things up on the s01 server. There are some spam/AI robots overloading the counter statistics pages. There should already be some improvements in speed, but we've needed to take down a couple of statistical pages temporarily to build some access limits into them. We hope to have everything normal ASAP.

Hi Jeremy!
Thank you for the reply!
The speed has clearly improved already 
Since you're already working on the Flag Counter page, maybe you could add some new regions (Syria, Azerbaijan, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iran)???
It'd be great!
Regards, Jaromir K.

Re: The server is working very slowly
Hi Jeremy!
It was fine for one day, but now it's bad again 
I haven't been able to access the statistics since yesterday.
A message appears: "503 Service UnavailableThe server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Re: The server is working very slowly
Same here. Server c01 has been practically down for nearly a week; it’s impossible to view statistics.
It constantly returns either Error 503 or Error 504.

Re: The server is working very slowly
We have made some changes to prioritize the counter images so that when the bots are overloading the statistics pages, the counters will still load and count as normal, while the statistics pages will return a temporary error.
We are continuing to work to identify and block the spam and AI robots that are overloading the statistics pages to get things fully back to normal.
