Title: What happened to bitshares.org?
Post by: merlin0113 on February 09, 2015, 04:15:23 am
Just as all you know, our new official website is alive for quite a few days. That's good.

But,
1. It is really really slowly loaded, to be specific it takes about as long as one minute to open. Considering the few available contents of the website atm, also by comparison to the good accessability of other bitcoin2.0 projects websites, i.e. NXT, ripple, XCP, I feel very upset;

2. What's even worse, right now, I can't open org at all.

I feel it's necessary to feedback this, because outsiders's impression be made by official site will impact their judgement of the project itself. I‘m sorry if this annoys ppl working on the website, I don't mean to criticize anyone.

I just opened the sight and it took about 4 seconds to load. Once open I navigated quickly and easily. Not sure why you are having a problem.

I've just went onto bitshares.org. Loads right away and I only have 1-2 MB broadband. Maybe others are having the same problem as you though...

Thanks for all your replies. I'm in China, maybe a GFW issue?

Any chinese confirm this?

If it's indeed a GFW issue, maybe designer should consider to solve this. Because in China it's a REAL problem.

Maybe the cdn it uses has no nodes in china?

I have a friend in Beijing. I was just talking to her on Facetime and asked her to open bitshares.org and it opened for her immediately.

Switch to Nginx and put the server behind Cloudflare.

Yes, I can open now. It's not stable.

Also I can't open bitsharestalk.org for quite several times today. But I can open bitsharestalk.org using vpn service.

I don't care about the bitsharestalk.org, I care about bitshares.org.

That makes sense.  Good idea to include the fonts locally.
