There are some solutions that can be provided to solve the problems related to DIV4:
$$$1$$$ — First, the capabilities of the site's servers can be increased, but this solution can be expensive, so it can be placed in the last rank
$$$2$$$ — A maximum number of contestants can be set in this round to avoid problems such as slowness of the site due to the large number of interactions with providing solutions, and also because the site does not open with some contestants!!
$$$3$$$ — The last and best solution is to prevent contestants higher than 1400 points from participating directly during the basic time of the round. I see that this solution is effective, as what is the benefit of having a Grand Master or Candidate Master in a round like Div4, and in the first place, sometimes the number of contestants with more than 1400 points is huge. This issue must be reconsidered
agree
Looks like it was peak of registered users. So it was unavoidable. They just hoped that their servers will not fell off. Waiting for new servers cause online on this platform will only grow.
Yeah, i can see that and the owner tried his best for carrying the website and prevent failure as even they blocked some routes of the website for a while trying to decrease the load, but i am just saying as we know, CP is getting more fans year by year, it is just a solution to be considered
Or just make mirrors identical to the main site and slap a load balancer in front. Problem solved.
