Ok done.
Here is the backstory...
Yesterday I started testing a new feature which optimizes our code served by our server. You might have noticed a little faster snap since this has been installed.
Some of the things this new feature does is as follows...
Today we were down for a few minutes as I was updating some back end stuff on the server.. and I fat fingered something. (doh!)
All Xenforo Addons are fully up to date as is our Xenforo forum software. All our backend server software is also 100% up to date. And all patches for everything are also up to date.
Other then my fat fingers screw up this morning, I am very... very happy with the speed of the site. The new software even sped up the speeds for those members seeing ads. So its a win win all around.

Some of the things this new feature does is as follows...
- Minify & compress HTML, inline CSS and JS
- Change attachment full size images to responsive smaller copies for mobile devices!
- Preconnect external resources for less page load blocking
- Preload important resources, such as images, CSS or JS
- Preload core Xenforo resources
- Automatic or manual settings for various features
- Deep intelligent detection of page source assets

Since installing it yesterday things for me have felt a lot snappier, even though the past 24 hours all the thumbnails have been redone in the background. (They have been made larger.. as now by default when people on mobile devices now see those thumbnails when they see pictures, this speeds up the mobile experience greatly when using the site on a mobile device using a web browser.

I noticed that. No worries. I just gave up and went for my burrito Mexicano a little early.
I will say since Scott’s efforts with the server that the site is much snappier on my IPad, even though the numbers on the bottom of the page aren’t that much different from before. Well done, Scott!
The numbers at the bottom of the page won't change, what has changed is the order of the stuff that is sent to you so that the site appears to load faster for you. Meaning everything loads on the screen almost instantly... while the stuff you are not seeing on the page off the screen is still loading.
Kind of neat how it all works.

Just a heads up I just loaded the latest version of the Optimizer. This latest version add optimization for many of the add ons we run to make the site run faster.

Tonight I got the error in the screenshot below using Firefox on a Mac. Safari works (which is what I had to use to let you know).Please let me know if you see anything strange, from this update.
It's an ongoing problem that's been mentioned in a number of threads.Thanks. I feel much better.
Seriously, how did you know that would work?
In fact I just got 403'd and had to toss my cookies to log on a few minutes ago.
Did some upgrades to the server and just finished up. Lots of updates this week including a few important ones to fix Log4j security issues.
Just a heads up there was a major security update to Apache yesterday. I am applying it now...
Just a warning incase it breaks things.
Keep your fingers crossed for no issues.

Probably a fix for the log4j zero day vulnerability.

There's a fix for a critical flaw in Apache HTTP Server, the world's second most widely used web server.

I have been doing the patches for log4j when each new one comes out. Luckily the only thing that is on our server that seems to use log4j is our search engine. And I have patched that.
