Why does my game wiki load so slow sometimes, is it server issues or my connection?
Hello, I have been using the game's wiki page and it seems to load very slow. Is that because they have a lot of traffic on their server? Or is it just me?

If the wiki is always slow, even when it’s not peak hours, then it’s their problem, perhaps because their servers are overloaded or have technical difficulties. If the wiki is only slow during peak times (when lots of people visit it after a large update, for example), then it’s high traffic that is slowing it down. If other websites load normally except for the wiki, then it’s the wiki’s fault. If all sites are loading slowly, it could be an issue with your internet connection. You can check your current speed using an outside website or application. If all else fails, contact the wiki staff and ask if there is a problem. Keep it short.
Both. Either they are having problems or there is something wrong with your connection. Open the Wiki in a different browser or device to see if it’s any faster. If it is, then you have a problem, if not, then it is probably them. You can always try clearing your browser’s cache as well. I’m sure their development staff will notify you of any problems.
If the wiki is slow, perhaps they have high traffic or the server has crashed. It could also be bandwidth issues on your side. Check other sites. Change networks if you can. If others are experiencing a problem, then it’s their server. If it’s only you, then it’s your bandwidth. It could be both; try some troubleshooting. There’s no magic bullet, but hopefully this will give you some hints.
Slow wiki. What do I do? There are two possibilities: the wiki is slow for everyone, in which case it would seem that they have a poorly configured server - perhaps due to heavy traffic or malfunctioning hardware; or it is only slow for you, in which case there may be a problem with the local network connection (try restarting your router), or with your computer (try using another machine). It is also worth clearing your browser’s cache of stored web pages. If you still get a slow response, contact them directly. Most likely, it is some combination of all of these factors, but it is worth sorting through these as best one can. Good luck!
