What is wrong with this site?
It takes about thirty or more seconds to load anything, from log on to switching between threads.
While processing the request, a message about "performing a tls handshake with wizardofodds.com" is displayed.
This has been going on for awhile now: why can't it be fixed?

Seemed like it was fixed for most of the last week as the server migration was completed, but starting about 1pm board time, it became sluggish and timing out again. I'm not involved in that end of things, so have no answers for you.

I visit 30+ sites on an almost daily basis and this is by far the worst. There is no way an online casino would run a site like this so it shows where we rank on the list of priorities. Probably rightfully so from a revenue standpoint.

Maybe, but I thought this site was hosted together with WOO, which is probably the most highly trafficked gambling info site on the net. They seem to have issues concurrently.
One would think that investing 1M+ in a website would be some motivation to keep it working properly.

You would think but obviously the technology is not there. Or is priced out of the reach of these guys. Or is just not a priority, which makes one wonder what their "independent " priorities are?

Thanks for the work. I am still timing out loading about every third page, and those that load take 30 seconds at a minimum, most 45-60 seconds.
I'm using an Android phone, latest OS, strong wifi connection at 50mps. This is the only site that doesn't load in less than 1 sec.
The site was moving well Monday, but went sluggish again on Tuesday, and continues to now.

Off and on for me as well. Ten minutes ago page loads were 45s-1m+ or completely timing out, but now everything is zippy.

Please note the time of my post above. The 30 or so loads immediately before it, including posting that, were behaving as I reported. The 10 or so since then have been instant. Something you did right then fixed the issue.
Rollercoaster is accurate. Every time I think you've been successful, the site starts to lag and timeout again. Hope this pinpoint helps identify the issue.

This up and down is very frustrating.
Not to ruffle anyone’s feathers, but this has been going on for several weeks now. People are going to start moving on to other sites if it isn’t resolved soon.

Now, if anyone can explain how to use the symbols for spades, hearts,diamonds and clubs in posts, it would be much appreciated.
Also, is it possible to use any mathematical symbols beyond the ones that are on keyboards?

Currently almost totally unworkable, replying to posts without first copying to clipboard is like russian roulette with 5 bullets.
Server does not reply to pings which may be by design, albeit not best practice or desirable.
This is nothing to do with denial of service. It's a flaw in the site.
Frequently get partial load that seems to seize up just after the static top of the page loads. More frequently just don't get a page returned at all.

if you use curl -vv you can see that the biggest delay is waiting for the TLS Client Handshake.

Quote: mamatI'm used to slow connections (grew up before 110 baud)...
No problem with slow connections here also. Haven't heard reference to 110 baud in close to forever. But, my 1978 suitcase-size terminal with telephone cradle and thermal paper (no video screen) was durn exciting in its day.
I'm sure the Admins are doing their best to get WoV problems fixed. No one said fixing everything would be easy or quickly done. I appreciate those posts where members report specifics (like TLS delays and character-set problems) that help me (and hopefully also help the Admins).
Another possible vector for the WoV computer problems:
I was very involved in computer security in the 1990s (up through Y2K), and frequently attended a variety of security-oriented briefings. I recall one IBM presenter who was an international security wizard. He commented that some eastern European countries trained computer students to hack into network systems and the then-nascent Internet world. Student's grades depended on the degree to which they compromised someone's computer system. Even recently a professor at the University of Michigan testified to Congress that he and his students hacked into numerous less-than-secure state voting systems (not to disrupt, but to alert election officials).
Most folks realize there is currently an ongoing international cyber-war, where it's everybody against everybody. I'd like to suggest that the WoV problems may be compounded by unknown, external third-party interferrence, whether it's a foreign power trying to affect Amazon or whether it is some student trying to impress her/his professor. Our Admins might never know. It's a jungle out there.

Seriously: This is a good point. To repeat: Can we get a response from someone that runs the site concerning the speed? An estimation of the time it would be fixed or even an acknowledgement that it's being worked on would help.
It seems like Babs and Mission are the only admins that have even posted on the site for the past month. (Maybe Face has posted occasionally?) Why are the Wizard and J.B. absent? What is going on? Has the WOV forum had a zombie apocalypse?
