Site Slow?

[IndyTreeFan]

Is anyone having issues with the site being really slow? I'm having the issue on both desktop and mobile.

 

[RunSyc]

Yes. Just figured it was my old Android.

 

[Huff77]

Same

 

[IndyTreeFan]

Well now the desktop is quick as lightning...

 

[SycamoreSuperFan]

It’s been slow for me on mobile

I don't know who is running this website anymore... But I feel like I'm logging into AOL back in the day. Must be all the people trying to get on and talk about all of the Sycamore athletic success we've been having of late - understandable why it would be so slow.

I wish it were that easy to explain away.

The reality is AI agents have been defacto DDoSing this sumbitch -- had over 15K throttling us yesterday. Between AI training models and other agentic AIs, the old bot problem has resurfaced with a new pair of shoes. Spent like 2 hours yesterday manually blocking a shit ton of random countries from accessing the site where bots were being shown as originating from. It feels faster over here so hopefully you're also seeing it.

Confirmed - AI bots love the Sycamores.

It has seemed to pick up the pace. Thanks!

Just wait until Elon's Optimus bots are in the wild and can buy tickets. Gonna be a packed house!

Maybe that's the big announcement???

yeah I block China, Russia and all the "Stans"

Have to. What's tricky is I'm seeing a lot of agentic traffic from countries where some of our International kids are from but obviously I don't want to block that because of their friends and family.

 

[bluestreak]

ooooh. yeah didn't think of that. Thats one thing I dont' have to worry about - don't sell a lot of art work in those places.
