Record Traffic + Slow CC Site = Another Upgrade

We’re aware that during late afternoon/evening (EST) hours for the last few days, our page load time has been unpleasantly long. Despite our addition of another powerful server last month (in anticipation of this surge), we are seeing record traffic levels that are stressing even our greatly improved configuration. So, our server experts will be doing a hardware upgrade and some additional configuration changes to improve our response time. Downtime should be minimal and occur at an off-hour (for US members).

Sorry about the slowness at peak times, and thanks for your support and patience!
