Works. But every time I click to view the old interface ('cos the one is not a scratch on the old look and feel), it takes me back to the [-]future[/-] new interface.

Time to play the Pinky and Brain theme song? :whistle: :D
 
This has been ongoing for me for the last month or more.
I've opened tickets, only receive responses 8 hours later that they "Have just checked it and runs fine on their side"

I've experienced slowdowns on my website as well, but was told that my site isn't optimized, which it wasn't.
I have done some work as good as I can, but I know nothing about websites.
There has been some huge improvement.

There own website is also not optimized though and even with my lack of knowledge, my website is scoring a bit better than theirs when you compare Page Speed - 82% vs 81%.

On YSlow I'm again up 91% vs 70%

I'm using shared hosting.
I'm just getting the feeling that Afrihost has put the squeeze on available resources.
As mentioned I have very knowledge regarding hosting and websites and my opinion are not based on evidence.

It is just all out of the blue my site began screaming resource errors in the last 2 months and the site has dropped ito traffic a lot compared to about a year or two back. I never had any problems with being limited, when the most traffic were generated.
It sometimes took up to 45 seconds for page loads.

My logs shows that my CPU are being limited several times in a 24 Hour period.
At the same time when I check this, often the CP is slow and can take long to open. In fact, I checked now and it is dog slow again (CP).
The forum is not snappy, but also not dog slow atm.

My graph for the last 30 days.
The CPU seem has been limit every time it hit the 100% mark.
It has reduced since I did some improvements.
