A Sound Effect Now Runs On A Powerful New Server

Posted March 21, 2018 by Asbjoern Andersen in A Sound Effect

For the first time in several years, A Sound Effect was inaccessible yesterday – sorry for any inconveniences caused! The reason? We’ve moved the site to a strong new server. For you, this means much-improved performance.

There were a few hiccups after the site went live again, but everything should now be running normally. One thing we’re currently investigating is login issues reported by a few users.

If you experience any problems logging in, please try clearing your browser cache, or logging in via Chrome. Any other problems, do let me know and we’ll look into it! Hope you enjoy the speed and performance of the new server :)
