Hello Proz.
I'm in the UK. For about 2 months now your servers have been responding more and more slowly, at least in this location.
At times this makes it extremely painful and annoying to use your site. It happens at all hours of the day. It is erratic and intermittent. But you've definitely changed something and need to correct it.
My STRONG suspicion is that you have switched to a really pathetically substandard (because cheap) ISP for this website. At ... See more Hello Proz.

My STRONG suspicion is that you have switched to a really pathetically substandard (because cheap) ISP for this website. At least for the Europe area.
Please do something about it ASAP. As a professional website you should be monitoring response times. Not from your ISP's "control panel" or whatever, but simply by using multiple computers in multiple geographical areas and determining the reality of trying to use your site for users. ▲ Collapse

A few weeks ago I wrote here on the forums that Cloudflare could be one of the sources of this site's many problems.
Now - surprise surprise - Cloudlfare seems to be ProZ's ISP.

Based on a whois search, their registrar is GoDaddy https://whois.domaintools.com/proz.com,
and based on their IP (172.66.40.225) the ISP is Cloudflare: https://www.whatismyisp.com/ip/172.66.40.225
Note what it reads right of the IP: "172.66.40.225 - 286 other sites hosted on this server "
(Reverse IP lookup confirms it's proz.com: https://reverseip.domaintools.com/search/?q=proz.com&_gl=1*eiqmgo*_ga*OTc1NTU3ODYxLjE3NDM0NTE4MjM.*_ga_RPLVMKCB3Y*MTc0MzQ1MTgyMi4xLjEuMTc0MzQ1MTgzNi40Ni4wLjA.)
Ping test: https://who.is/tools/proz.com (sometimes it returns among others compute-1.amazonaws.com addresses as traceroute.)

Cloudflare is clearly an intermediary in the chain linking Proz.com server(s) to our browsers. But if the Error 524 messages I've been seeing recently are anything to go by, the root cause of the slow response is the host webserver (under the responsibility of Proz.com and/or the site's ISP), not Cloudflare.
Here's the content of a 524 message I got just a few minutes ago:
Cloudflare reported:
A timeout occurred Error code 524
Visit cloudflare.com for more information.
2025-03-31 23:26:46 UTC
You - Browser - Working
Santiago - Cloudflare - Working
www.proz.com - Host - Error
What happened?
The origin web server timed out responding to this request.
The connection to the origin web server was made, but the origin web server timed out before responding. The likely cause is an overloaded background task, database or application, stressing the resources on your web server. To resolve, please work with your hosting provider or web development team to free up resources for your database or overloaded application.
Communication problems between the host server(s) and Cloudflare are quite likely behind the apparent paranoia that keeps demanding proof that we're human beings.

I just got the 524 cloudflare timeout error when trying to visit the discussion page for today's poll, which - ironically - asks: How familiar are you with the new ProZ.com site?
I am also irked by being asked repeatedly to confirm that I'm a human being when I'm signing into the site using my ProZ account.
I think somebody at ProZ must have accidentally pressed the "Self-destruct" button.

It's a disaster ... The site is so slow that it seems dead. And this has been going on for months. Made me laugh to see the poll about the new ProZ.com site. What should you vote if the site isn't even loading?

I really cannot believe it. I thought it was due to the poor Internet in the developing country in Asia I am visiting. A page on ProZ takes 2-3 minutes to load at times or I get an error and it does not load at all. That is very sad for a website people rely on and are paying hundreds of dollars a year to use! Paying members should be compensated by extending our subscriptions for several months. This should be (have been!) fixed immediately!

| all needs to be done at least twice | Apr 1 |
It's now weeks that, in order to get where you want, you have to do all things at least twice on this site: clicking on a link, reloading a page, clicking the back key, even posting a reply and liking. Sometimes, in order to return to the forums, the fastes way is clicking on the header menu instead of using the back key.
I've never seen such a disaster!

| problem persisting since at least 2011 | Apr 1 |
Just look here: https://www.proz.com/status/688
Status: Repaired
Time start: 18:00 16 Feb 2011 CET (GMT+1)
Time repaired: 18:00 17 Feb 2011 CET (GMT+1)
Some users have reported intermittent problems loading ProZ.com pages, with a browser error like "server not found". A related report indicated being able to access the site, but without any images or CSS styles (causing the page to lose its formatting). The problem was due to a configuration issue with ProZ.com's domain name service (DNS) provider. A fix was applied, and the problem corrected for some users.
Some users continued to report problems accessing the site. Site staff are continuing to work with ProZ.com's DNS provider to completely resolve the issue.

@Zea_Mays
This is vaguely interesting ... but SEVERELY off-topic.
There is a real problem NOW, in 2025, which has, according to my experience, in my geographical location, been getting worse over the past 2 months specifically. Other posters here seem to confirm this.
In order to identify the source of the problem, with a view to solving it, it is far preferable not to confuse the issue by mentioning stuff that happened, er, 14 years ago.
Please think instead about starting your own thread on this 2011 subject.

| Variation on a well-known theme: Cloudflare Error 525 | Apr 1 |
Cloudflare reported as follows:
SSL handshake failed Error code 525
Visit cloudflare.com for more information.
2025-04-01 11:52:19 UTC
You - Browser - Working
Santiago - Cloudflare - Working
www.proz.com - Host - Error
What happened?
Cloudflare is unable to establish an SSL connection to the origin server.
What can I do?
If you're a visitor of this website:
Please try again in a few minutes.
If you're the owner of this website:
It appears that the SSL configuration used is not compatible with Cloudflare. This could happen for a several reasons, including no shared cipher suites.

Jumping on the bandwagon here to say I'm having the same infuriating issue, web pages are just loading...and loading...and loading. Feels like the dial-up days of the internet. Probably won't renew my membership if this keeps up!

I wanted to report the same issues here. However, it took about half a day to load this page with this discussion thread. Seems like I am paying a rent in a fully broken house. Where does our membership go, to use cheap freelance developers who don't know what they're doing, cheap domains or AI to maintain the house? Can somebody from ProZ provide a word or two on this, please?

... forum pages have been completely cluttered lately and therefore are anyway illegible, even if by chance you could eventually see them... Anyone else noticed this?
