Slow Page Loads
Resolved - And we're all clear. Performance is stable across the board, so we're closing this out. Email queues are empty and processing messages in a timely manner, as expected. Apologies for any disruption to the start of your day, folks.
Mar 22, 13:22 EDT
Monitoring - We've identified the cause of the backlog this afternoon, and Folder counts, workflows, and search are in the process of catching-up. We should be all clear within the next couple of minutes, but we'll keep an eye on things for a bit longer.

We'll post one more update to close this out when everything is all clear.
Mar 22, 13:14 EDT
Investigating - We’re seeing reports of sporadic long page loads accompanied by timeouts when trying to access the web app. We're on it. Folder views/counts, as well as workflows, will be slow to update until we're in the clear.
