Right now, clicking on free arcade doesn't redirect you to the main page... but none of the games are working right now :(

1. Go to construct-arcade.com

2. Verify captcha

3. Restart the arcade.

Don't know wtf is going on with that, but it's very suspicious.

Sorry for this, the site crashed on Friday and after investigation looks like was caused by the amount of traffic visiting the arcade. As a quick fix, I put some of the arcade traffic under "Under attack mode" on Cloudflare, and shut down the arcade for ~36 hours whilst I investigated.

I've made some changes now which should help (much more aggressive caching on expensive queries) which are now live and the arcade should be back to normal operation. This does seem to be an intermittent problem that keeps occurring so am keeping my eye on it.

Hi Tom. Do you think there is a way to also add more settings to your Cloudfront service to be sure the Arcades will stay up for a good moment? Thanks to fixed it, btw!

It generally is pretty reliable, and we're behind Cloudflare and a tonne of data is cached, the issue exists elsewhere.

Oh ok. This is weird since (with my Web dev skills) I can see multiple areas in the construct website and the construct arcade website communicate to a Cloudfront server with an "unsafe-url" referer policy (There is "unsafe-url" almost everywhere. Even my sensitive info of licence ID and purchases info end up in the header request and in the URL, which is not security friendly).

However, if you say the problem is elsewhere, you say it. Have a nice night!

unsafe-url is a HTTP referrer policy, and not to do with any downtime we've been experiencing.
