UnmetHours site feels slow

Is it me or unmethours site feels a bit slow lately? Some questions take quite a while to open both from my phone and my PC

Same here. Both laptop and mobile. Many questions take ~30 secs to access, some ~60 secs. For about a week or 10 days or so.

Yes, painfully slow at times. @Aaron Boranian is Big Ladder planning to address this?

@Petros Dalavouras @Denis Bourgeois @shorowit thanks for your feedback. We noticed this as well, and have discovered that the "Related Questions" portion of the right sidebar was taking a VERY long time to filter the 10k+ questions to find the list of "most related" questions to the post you were viewing/opening. We have temporarily disabled that portion of the sidebar, and now the site feels more responsive in our testing.

We will try to re-enable the "Related Questions" portion of the sidebar after optimizing that "Related Questions" query or reducing the number of questions on the forum (close duplicate posts, etc.).

We have also improved our detection of spam bots creating new posts, which has reduced that load on the servers as well.
