I'm having the same problem.

To clarify, everything but the actual manga pages themselves loads normally, such as the thumbnails, page indexes, and forums.

This was the same issue before the upgrade back in 2018, text load instantly but images don't, some get trouncated too. Seems the last upgrade didn't solve the huge traffic matter or there is a ddos attack.

We have to wait and see, hopefully an admin tell us something.

It's been getting slightly better for me, but the manga pages are still loading slowly/not loading at all.

According to a post by /u/Doki-co on Reddit, they’re being DDoS’d: https://reddit.com/r/manga/comments/akdz87/_/ef4aamx/?context=1

@bookkid900 - Make sense, they know where the source of these attack is?
Anyway thanks for the update.

@bookkid900 I bet its one of the guys that was sending death threats to groups that delayed releases on mangadex xD

 

[Vengeance22]

Stupid assholes who know nothing else but annoy other people with their DDoSing... Really if I was in a position to allow it I'd issue deathpenalties for these morons.

 

[SolomonRex]

man this sucks

 

[Evandel]

@apostou that never happened in the first place so how could that be?

 

[MooPoint]

If it's a DDoS... nothing MangaDex can really do besides blocking the packets + temporarily scaling up their infrastructure.
