Felli I think I have a solution for him ? A small widget under the tags would be the best approach. A simple message at that.

    Ralkage I didn't even think of that, would be a better solution to the problem. ?

    @Sanguine I suggest in robots.txt close type pages

        luceos Searching via mobile is rather time-consuming at the moment. ?

        @Sanguine Is it possible to remove Google fonts? as it's blocked here, this makes it very slow.
        Or upload the fonts onto the FreeFlarum server.

          If you alter the CSS, so that the Google font isn't used anywhere, it won't be requested even with the linked stylesheet still in place.

          In my forum I have changed the font to Titillium Web by adding the necessary stylesheet via the admin interface (Appearance > Custom Header) and requesting the font via custom CSS (Appearance > Custom Styles). So now I have two linked Google fonts stylesheets:

          <head>
              ...
              <link rel="stylesheet" href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,600">
              ...
          </head>
          
          <body>
              <link rel="stylesheet" href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Titillium+Web">
              ...
          <body>

          Now, let's have a look at the web page test results (go to the Details tab): Two small CSS files from Google are requested, but only one font, the Titillium Web. The Open Sans fonts are not loaded:

          ...
          3: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Titillium+Web
          4: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,600
          ...
          9: https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/titilliumweb/v6/7XUFZ5tgS-tD6QamInJTcZSnX671uNZIV63UdXh3Mg0.woff2
          ...

          I'm not shure, whether files from fonts.googleapis.com are blocked as well, that might still cause delays, but if only files from fonts.gstatic.com are blocked, then overriding the Google font via custom CSS should solve your problem. It's worth a try:

          body {
              font-family: 'Arial,sans-serif;
          }

              Post mortem

              Freeflarum and its hosted forums were down on January 18th, 2018 from 6:03 to 7:05 UTC.

              Cause
              The cause was a MariaDB file descriptor limit, kicking in due to the number of hosted forums (360).

              Solution
              Increase FD limit in OS settings, systemd settings and MariaDB settings. Merge with deployment tasks for future servers.

              Meta
              Monitoring worked as expected. At 6:03 the application level monitoring detected the first anomaly. At 6:04 the external service monitoring confirmed the outage. It took 12 minutes to identify the cause, then 15 minutes to implement a fix, 10 minutes to validate the fix and 3 minutes to merge the fix in the deployment system.
