Bronco B&P website slowness

[crunchyplum]

Seeing quite a few errors in the Ford Build and Price tool. 503 error might return with the HTTP_STATUS_SERVICE_UNAVAIL error, and maybe also with a The service is temporarily overloaded message. Hopefully as usage goes down, we will be able to add accessories properly and the tool will load assets properly

Lol the option that has always led to constant spinning for me is the dang floor mats. Drives me up a wall lol.

I just want to see it with all the options I want. it gets stuck on the brush guard and/or winch. hell, it'll get stuck trying to change the angle.

It's been totally unusable for me. Not that Ford will allow any accessories on an FE anyway...

Hopefully that's not an indication that the Bronco will be constantly getting stuck lol!

My best guess is that they are throttling their API (application program interface) to limit requests and avoid crashing the servers. The result is the failure to load the images (which is a heavier API call anyways). This is what the 503 error, service unavailable indicates to me as a systems engineer. from the Error: lazybeforeunveil could also be some subpar coding on Fords side

They knew the rush was coming why didn’t they prepare for this ?? It’s like the IPhone every year demand is more than we expected FOH

Unfortunately, most of the top software talent goes to tech companies not Ford, so i'm not surprised their system is struggling. With correct planning, they should be able to handle the surge in traffic by scaling their backend accordingly

Unless they are making coffee changes to address the pricing issues
