Okey, i hope you’ll fix it soon if it’s possible :slight_smile:

A post was merged into an existing topic: Main “Learn” Page fully loads but displays nothing

Any update on this ?

Cannot get into learn at all on freeCodeCamp.

Cheers for all you do !

Has been working intermittently , but not for every student

Update:

We are seeing heightened usage on our API endpoints. This is likely due to the newer curriculum format for the Responsive Web Design, which needs to update a user record more frequently.

We have provisioned additional capacity, but slow DB queries are the main reason for the slow loads.

Our team is working on optimizing the codebase as best we can, and this could take a while (each fix and release cycle takes a few good hours).

We request your continued patience meanwhile.

Thanks.

I found if you are not logged in, for example if you use incognito mode, you have access to all learning material.

in that case the database is not updated, so, yes, that would work

Update:

We have made a couple of rounds of releases. We are seeing slight improvements in load times.

The core performance issues still continue to exist.

The team has been working hard to bring things back to normal - you should eventually see the learning platform perform faster as we keep making tiny changes.

We wish we could have predicted this class of issues when operating at scale. We understand how frustrating this must be, and again we request your patience.

Thanks

Update:

We have rolled out even more updates. And the platform should be in a much more usable state. Although we are in our non-peak hours as I post this.

:point_right: We are not completely out of the woods.

2-day scale:

4-hour scale:

As you can see, we have been working on steady progress with the issues, and API is making more and more successful resolutions.

We will continue to work on the issues and try and return to normalcy as soon as possible.

Thanks, everyone, for your patience and kind words as always.
