Hm, so the site really can't handle a lot of traffic it seems.

Anyone who's more well-versed with #python and has some extra time to help me optimize it better?

@stefan Dunno where the bottleneck is, but I had a suggestion at https://github.com/thisisparker/public_domains/issues/2

@nemobis Thank you, I'll look into this!

I must be doing something wrong though, because once the domain names are generated, they're saved in a file and reused, and that still seems to take too long. 🤷‍♂️

Just checking you have done some performance profiling?

I think I'll have to do this for my website soon and was going to use this as my guide.

@rowlandm I have not, but this is very useful, thank you for sharing!

Good luck, I hope you find the problem easily!

@rowlandm Thank you!

I'm also wondering if this is just the case of DDoSing your own site by linking to it on Mastodon.

Happened to me recently with another project. We'll see!

Haha

I never thought of that but it makes sense now.

I'm curious to know what it is now!

stefan, 2 months ago

@rowlandm Yeah, the site is much faster right now. Hard to tell if it's because of fewer people on it, or just that the link is not being actively shared.

I think that just happened to my site too!

stefan, 2 months ago

@rowlandm Ah, I hope your site recovered quickly!

doesn't work for me in Firefox or Chromium :sadcat:

@kaia I was just deploying a small update, which caused a small downtime, care to try again?

If you end up registering one of the domains, definitely let me know!

@slothrop Thank you!

Yes, it looks like the site needs a bit more optimization to handle extra traffic, sorry about that!

And both author and book names will work. Let me update the site to make this a bit more clear.
