Competiton site slow?

Is anyone else having issue with the comp site being slow, I click the tick or cross and goes around in circle for a while.

I go to my usual default of BBC site and instantly comes up and can view pages with no issue

I had a couple of bad gateway timeouts this morning but it seems to be fine now for me.

It's running slow for me at the moment

It is MSE as a whole that is going slow. This is being caused by a problem between Vanilla, the forum supplier and Cloudflare (Google it) which is supposed to help Vanilla to run safely and securely.
This problem has been reported on Site Feedback and seems to be a repeat of a problem back in February/March.

I see the above comments were posted back in July, but I'm getting really slow page loading now (18th Aug), plus the issue of the tick or cross going round in a circle for ages. Anyone else? Other sites seem fine.

Yes, there seem to be some issues again. It's running slow and I've had the Vanilla timeout screen a few times when trying to load threads up or when posting new threads (which has led to duplicate posts).
