Now the complete site seems down. When you enter the page just a 'Website Disabled' appears.

[arthurvr]

Yep, I'm able to confirm that. @mathiasbynens something up with the server?

[mathiasbynens]

Yeah. Due to the ongoing flood of spam, the database has gotten so big any type of query takes ages, effectively bringing down the server. Unfortunately I don’t have time to deal with this right now.

The new version is gonna need some sort of authentication before posting test cases/comments, e.g. GitHub Authentication.

Thanks for understanding.

[tomByrer]

Couldn't you just lock out new postings for now, & delete the last few days/weeks if they're that spammy?
There are alot of bookmarks out there, esp StackOverflow...

@JonDum we are building up momentum right now. We all highly depend on jsperf anyway, so the action WILL BE TAKEN!
P.S.
I am going to try to implement gist based storage this weekend along with the sandbox.

[S-YOU]

I think, comments don't have to support out of the box.

[jlukic]

Thanks @mathiasbynens for all your work in keeping JsPerf up, its an amazing resource for the community. Please let us know if you have any specific recommendations on how we can help out.

[nhz-io]

Sent an email to stackexchange asking for help, lets see where it goes.

mail went to openshift, heroku and digital ocean, lets see if anyone cares.

[haneytron]

@mathiasbynens this has definitely KO'd some Stack Overflow answers. A question: if we provided a list of jsperf URLs, would you be able to return a set of raw HTML/CSS/JS for each link? We might be able to run an update to insert our own Stack Snippets where each JSPerf link was, which would improve the SO answers. No promises that we'll do it - just probing options. Please let me know. Cheers!

[andrewsomething]

DigitalOcean would be happy to help provide some resources to keep jsPerf up and running! @mathiasbynens if you're interested, please reach out via opensource@digitalocean.com so we can discuss your requirement and how we can help.

[nhz-io]

Oh yeah! There is some GOOD left in the world!

[haneytron]

@mathiasbynens cc @nhz-io jsperf restoring your hosting capabilities and bringing the site back online is a much better solution than us band-aiding the questions and answers, which ultimately will take away from some of your traffic anyway since we'd be replacing the links. I'd prefer you restore service if possible, but please let me know if service cannot be restored / you're down for good.

[dknecht]

Cloudflare is happy to sponsor this project. Please email me (dane at cloudflare dot com) and we can discuss how to get better protections in place.

[MadaraUchiha]

How does one help with the issues blocking the v2 milestone? The tickets' descriptions are basically a link to another repository.

[RaphaelDDL]

@MadaraUchiha The 'another repository' is the v2 one. @maxbeatty is the one in charge of the refactoring. You can help him.

[josephrocca]

As a temporary solution it looks like you can add "cache:" in front of a
jsperf url to get the google cached version and it all works fine

Do you plannin, since it will be github auth, to keep tests in gists? For example, save test case to gist, and load test case from gist?

No changes are planned compared to the original jsPerf website (other than requiring GitHub authentication to be able to post tests/comments). Maybe later.

[nhz-io]

@gowab yes, but not in v2, its a nice idea but for now priority is to bring jsperf back to life

[gobwas]

@mathiasbynens @nhz-io sounds good. If you need some help - ping me )

EDIT: Hah!

[mathiasbynens]

I’ve temporarily re-enabled jsPerf with Google reCAPTCHA implemented. Let’s see how this goes.

[mathiasbynens]

Somehow spam still started getting through after a while, indicating this is in fact manual spam (unless someone managed to break Google ReCaptcha already, which I highly doubt).
