We've been working to find the cause of intermittently slow performance on the University website. The behaviour is not consistent but many users of Sussex web pages have experienced delays of several seconds when browsing the site, particularly in the last few days.
We're sorry for the annoyance this has been causing and are working to fix the issue as soon as we can.
UPDATE: 8 Dec 2016 - 1:31pm
We've been doing a lot of work to track down the cause of intermittently slow performance on the University website and related services. Response times on many Sussex web pages and some internal systems have been dropping at regular points during the day, resulting in inconvenience for staff, students and website visitors.
We're sorry for all the frustration this has been causing but are making progress towards restoring a normal service as soon as we can.
UPDATE: 14 Dec 2016 - 10:18am
We've tracked down and resolved the issue behind intermittently slow performance on University web sites and related services towards the end of term.
Response times on many Sussex web pages and some internal systems dropped at regular points during the day due to a service which was running on the same hardware but consuming excessive resources. The service was identified and relocated yesterday and symptoms immediately cleared.
We're sorry for all the inconvenience this has been causing for staff, students and website visitors in the last few weeks but pages and web-based services are now running smoothly.
