WaniKani website running slow

Am I the only one for whom wanikani is running slow? I mean the actual website, not the content or anything like that. When loading reviews, the animations are very laggy. It could be that I have some extensions installed that are causing lag, but I wanted to check if it’s been happening for anyone else too. Thanks!

at the moment it Is running smoothly over here, but I just got on & my internet is good. You might want to restart modem or go thru your extensions. If it is still going on, try another browser without extensions, it will tell you if that’s the problem.

Things are running smoothly for me right now, but I’ve experienced lag in the past. Every time it has happened, it has been because my computer was running slowly that day, and when I solved that problem, WK ran fast for me again.

Not slow, but in the past hour or so, when I tried to do lessons, it threw out a Ruby-on-Rails standard error page. After several minutes, it’s now working again. When doing reviews, I lost connection with WK server (connection with other websites was not disrupted), but I was able to finish my reviews anyway. Using latest version Firefox on Windows 10.

Perhaps problems involving Heroku?

Exact same here, Stable Internet but “Lost connection to Wanikani, Refresh?”

Been buggy on my end too.
Got error when I went to do lessons (reload worked)
Got the dropped connection twice (while being active, so just moments after a review)

And a reload fixed it for a while again. So did mange to get all done.
Saw others mention they had minor issues too (in poll thread)
All minor though, but more than usually =)

Also keep getting errors. Also, over on mobile last night, the layout was wacky (my profile picture was repeated three times :flushed:).

Plus, when clicking on my profile picture, notifications don’t show at all, it just keeps loading :sob:

Same here, took more than 5 goes to get through 73 reviews. I use my phone rather than laptop, and my Internet is working fine.

Maybe it’s time to reach out to the @Mods about these issues? :eyes:

(though I haven’t had trouble so far)

When I lunch the reviews it says administrators have been warned about the issue. :slight_smile:
