Web Site Problems Now (Hopefully) Resolved

Some of you might have noticed that recently, the NVDA and NV Access web sites have been hideously slow and unreliable at certain peak times. Pages often took a very long time to load, and sometimes even failed to load at all, simply throwing up a nasty error. Our server was struggling (and failing) to cope with the traffic it was receiving. While this is exciting in one sense (we're obviously getting quite a lot of hits!), it was obviously a rather large problem. Therefore, I've spent quite a few hours optimising it and made some rather substantial changes to its configuration. It took me quite a few tries to get everything working correctly, so the site has been in various states of functionality over the last day or so. Everything should be working now and the server does seem to be running much better than it was before. Please let me know if there are any further problems. Our apologies for the downtime.
