"This website is under heavy load" What? First time for everything!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Mike McCann - Broker, Mach1 Realty Farm & Commercial Land Broker-Auctioneer Serving Nebraska

I got this message today on Active Rain...instead of the regular front page  of the website:

"This website is under heavy load"

"We're sorry, too many people are accessing this website at the same time. We're working on this problem. Please try again later."

Is it ever a good thing or a bad thing when this happens? 

On a positive note...the site has heavy traffic and I look at that as more opportunities to read blogs and articles and comments that I can learn from.

As a negative...I and many others tend to move from site to site fairly quickly and when this popped on my screen I moved on and then went back and it still said the heavy load.

So what do I do the second time?

Okay...full disclosure here...first I mumbled something like..."you've got to be kidding me"...followed by "why are the east coasters not at work and the west coasters still in bed...why are they all on AR?"

So I clicked away a third time and then came back and got the same message.

This time I did not say any thing cute or smart...but I did have an ah-ha moment.

"Well of course"...I thought...I can take the advantage of this and turn it into a blog mostly about everyone being on their computers today and getting some blog points along the way. 

And really not say much of any value at all...however...if you are reading this and want to earn a few points and help me earn a few points...leave a comment and have a great day!!

Until Next Time...Be safe in the harsh weather of the season!!

Mike.... the site is very slow today.... it takes forever to comment .... and forget about tagging.... I have a ton of posts to write today, and I'm going to write them on word and wait for the site to get back to normal...

It helps to have a virtual assistant who is working everyday in ensuring that your website is well-maintained, leads are nurtured and all of the other menial tasks that can be outsourced. Great help in lessening our daily workload.

Luckily, I have not gotten that error message, but the site is indeed very slow!  I was thinking it had to be just this website and not my computer, as I was able to access other websites and they responded quickly.  It certainly is frustrating, so I hope they get it corrected soon!

Hi Ann,  I have not tried a virtual assistant or even an assistant.  I prefer to do all the work and with todays technology, that is usually not a problem as I can access my entire business online.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Brian,  Yah...I am doing other work on the laptop and on my desktop so I type in on one and move to the other.  I suspect that with all the bad weather, a lot of extra people are on line as it is hard to get around in many locales.  Thanks for stopping by!

We have a potential blizzard coming in tonight...and that should be exciting.  Need to go out and make sure the snow blade and pickup are ready to push snow!! (Last storm it would not start...and that was a pain working on it in below zero temps....)  Stay safe and warm in AZ!!

Hi Sheila Anderson I wonder if they got it fixed since it seems a bit better now. One of the things I always do when a site is slow is check 4 or 5 other sites to make sure whether it is them or me. Thank you for stopping by.

It had improved quite a bit yesterday afternoon.  But, I notice the old problem has returned this morning.

I'm so sorry you were out of town when Donald and I were rambling around Nebraska last summer.  But we have a new neice being born in ND next month so we'll be back your way.  

It is frustrating when AR isn't working, but I try very hard to be patient with the techs as they work to repair things and get us back to working right.
