Lot of site errors

[CCTVCam]

Hi Fenderman,

Just a heads up, I'm suffering a lot of site errors. The error message is "An unexpected Database Error has Occurred. Please try again later"

This is intermingled with occasional slow page responses. I'm on 35mbs Fibre so the slow pages shouldn't be my end.

This could be what I believe is the daily system maintenance activities which have the worst impact for about 30 minutes or so starting 08:20 GMT.
During this time the site is often errored or non-responding.

Can you please send screen shots to me next time this happens?

Sure Mike.

A reasonably typical day :
Around 09:30 local (GMT+1) response times slow to a few seconds.
Then around 09:35 for around 5 minutes most clicks result in the database error as below.
Then for maybe 10 minutes or so, response times up to 20 seconds or so.
After that, back to the normal good responsiveness with no errors.

I got this at 09.37 GMT:

Make that 9.37am BST. Forgot the UK is using London time atm not GMT and we're currently on British Summertime (+1hr).
