WoW General Forum lag

Hi,
It's been taking up to 30 seconds to load the WoW General forum, whereas the other forums are pretty snappy. Anyone else noticed this? Any wowheaders able to comment on the cause?
Cheers.

No, it's been the same for me as well.

Our servers had a bit of an issue last night, but it wasn't very big--I think it was isolated to which server you were connected through. Should be fine now! :)

Thanks wowhead Goddess.

It's looking like it's the same as all the other forums now. Not laggy at all. Looks like it's been fixed.
Cheers.

The load monster is back again today for me, running plain IE 9
Just wanted to add the slowness only happens when loading the general board every other part of the site very fast.

Is this still happening? Was unable to recreate it and we aren't having server problems, so maybe it's a bigger bug.

For me it is very intermittent much like a strange noise made by your car that never reveals itself when you take it to your mechanic.

It happened for me again last night though it appears to be working fine again this morning. Obviously something intermittent and mainly with the General forum though I have had the occasional long load time for some of the other forums.

Sometimes lags, and sometimes doesn't. Yesterday it was laggy. Today it isn't. Maybe it's a matter of load. That is, how many people are trying to access at once.
EDIT: Immediately after this post, I went to WoW General. It took 17 seconds to load.
Cheers.

It's back..... I also wanted to add when it gets laggy like this I have noticed it far faster to go to the front page and follow the general forum link from there as opposed to getting there from one of the threads on the general board.

I'm still getting random 20/30 sec lag when trying to access the General forum. It happens from time to time on other forums, but way less frequently.
Cheers.

Load you unwieldy behemoth load!

The last few days, the site has been nearly unusable for me. Forums, item searches, anything. Takes 30+ seconds to load a page, assuming it comes back before the network timeout at all.
Most of the time is spent waiting on
www.wowhead.com
, but occasionally it'll get hung up on www5.wowhead.com instead, if that helps any.

It is possible there's something wrong with the servers. While trying to load both the General and Help forums I get this:
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.
There may have been several server updates throughout the day, making the whole site laggy.

I've been having some trouble for most of the day. At some points, it will lag crazy bad. At others, it will be just fine...

The whole site has been very slow to load for me. Noxxic's tooltips that link to this site won't even load when you hover over them, and will load slowly if you actually click on the links.
It's just wowhead. Every other unrelated site I click on loads fairly fast.
