In the past week or two, over at http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com we have seen a sharp increase in double posting of forum posts (often because the first post did not show up in a timely manner, prompting the user to create a second post), pages that can't be accessed to edit for short periods (not that they are locked for editing, but just not responsive), and instances where the site is generally unresponsive or unavailable. Our concern is that the explosive growth we've experienced over the past few months is straining Wikidot's resources. Would you please check into the cause of these incidents? I've listed below the times that some incidents occurred (all times EDT) — let me know please if you need any more information.

Thanks!
I'm having the same problem. It is taking a very long time for posts to save and sometimes editing and saving pages is also delayed. Basically…I am getting all the same things as the above.
…As a matter of fact, this post, which I am not editing, took a long time to save, but not as long as the delays being experienced on my site.
I've noticed that new pages take a long time to save at the moment but I've not seen this with existing pages.

A bit after I posted my comment, my site started performing at lightning speed. But yes, the problem for me seems to mostly be in editing existing pages and posts.
Honestly we had some performance issues last week due to activities. This might have influenced other things too: page editing, forum posting etc. It is also possible that some performance hiccups were due to the same problem before, but went unnoticed.
We made significant improvements (still tuning in today) and the problem should vanish. We will look into the double-posting deeper. Also, if any problems appear again, please post a comment in this issue!

Double-posting and posting/editing delays are still happening today.
Could you please paste a link to such double-posts?

We too have noticed continued double posting:
This thread here will probably disappear shortly:
This was a triple post, before i deleted them. And we're still having lagging issues.
I made same experience - I had to check on a separated browser - tab the comments and detected that with the long time consuming "posting" with the sand clock the post is in reality saved and showable ( on the other tab) .. tghis prvents me from creating duplicated posts…

Saving new pages still takes a long time for me, and I've just posted a bug about saving tags not completing. Something seriously not right with performance at the moment.
