I'm still getting 504 gateway timeout errors. Just reporting in...

Yup. The CPU upgrade is in the works. Should happen tonight or tomorrow at the very latest.

Thanks for the effort. I'm glad to hear this, I do notice a difference when compared to a few days ago.

Yeah, there are moments where it loads very quickly (which is when the CPU just happens to not have a load on it) but if a few things get queued up for the CPU the website basically becomes inoperable for about 5 seconds while the CPU catches up.

This is definitely what is happening when the site randomly hangs. I can watch it happen using CPU monitoring tools while browsing the site and it always matches up perfectly.

We're basically waiting for the server company to respond, we contacted them last evening.

    Actually I think that type of caching is already happening through our cloudflare caching, and we still can't handle the load! We're getting about 1,000 unique visitors an hour

      Ah I see, thanks for explaining some more. /u/d3rr and myself might look in to that

      This sounds like a pretty good idea. Is this something that could be implemented at the nginx level? I'll do some research into it.

      Thanks. Glad it's working quickly for you right now. It does seem to be getting better, but I think that's just because traffic is a bit low at this time of day
