Why wont the pages load [Intermittent outages from extremely high traffic]

Solution
Similar issues to others in this thread. Pages load but images don't. Takes anywhere between 10 seconds and 60 seconds per image, seems to load the images in sequential order.
Using this as a lodestone to make an updated answer for the thread:

Normal website functionality with minor to severe image delays is the current expected behaviour under high site load. Previously expected behaviour until a week ago was the entire site crashing and becoming inaccessible for several hours, for comparison. Developers are continuing to work on further fixes.

Got the same or similar issue.
Edit: Not sure why my post was moved. The thread I replied to was about an issue way before March 17th

Same.

Like others have said, there seems to be intermittent issues with image loading. it usually doesn't last long, I expect to come back later tonight and it will be resolved but it has been happening for a couple of weeks now.

No idea if there are fixes planned or if this is even on their radar.

We've been having intermittent chapter image loading issues for the last two weeks due to record breaking user count. It hasn't been going on for "6 months", not even close, please stop pulling shit out of your ass.

The April fools functionality doesn't help either. Lots of people here playing with it, causing massive increase in bandwidth usage.

Oh sweet summer child, it was way worse.

In case you didn't know a lot of basic features, such as search, were disabled for users that didn't have accounts back in the day and the site was still falling over on a weekly (almost daily) basis. Also the traffic the site sees now is exponentially greater than what v3 (the old version of the site) ever saw. To give you some idea v3 at its peak was a top 1000 site globally, today Mangadex is in the top 100 (according to most service that track that kind of thing).
I’ve been using mangadex since Batoto died.

This has been going on 3 weeks now. I would much prefer if you just took down the site until you've taken preventative measures/fixed the issue, this is making me want to not visit anymore. 😭
