Lag in forum today

I've added some additional security rules in Cloudflare. Hopefully performance has been better for everyone.

Speed is up. A little annoying to watch the “verifying I’m real” thing every time in refresh the site but at least it’s fast.

Do it happen every time or just occasionally? Having that bot checker help with bots clogging up the database load.

It’s working really well for me. Really fast. Richard is secretly a bot so that’s why it’s constantly checking if he’s truly real haha .

Every time.

Luckily, I hadn't had any problems with lag or with the bot checker. The site's been as quick as my ST.

FWIW @STFan - the " bot checker " screen comes up whenever one clicks on " new posts " as well ( every time too - it doesn't ask for any actual input or to "click a box" or anything - it eventually pushes through to the list of new posts after a couple of seconds while it performs the
" verification " screen thing - only a slight delay for users. If it seems to be working OK / helping to reduce spam/bots, it's really not a big deal
