Optimum was down for awhile last Friday, and has been clunky since. I keep disconnecting the wifi and reconnecting on my laptop screen, and that helps for a little while. I imagine Optimum is headed for a longer outage :/

DU is slow, but most other sites load faster.

This is all related to me making configuration changes in an effort to prevent AI crawlers from spamming the site. Still working on things.
