<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Well, the tileservers were slow for everyone, globally at that
time. I don't know how much pageviews that the dodentocht
generated, but osm.org should have been able to handle that just
fine. OTOH, it happens quite often that osm.org is slow or
unreliable. Not a big deal for us mappers (as long as we can edit
;p ) but not really what I'd want for a website I do care about.</p>
<p>That being said, Joost said the right thing. Either contact
Jonathan or go with a commercial provider - they are quite cheap
and most have a generous free tier. Or mix a few providers.</p>
<p>PS: welcome to the mailing list!<br>

<p>Mvg,</p>
<p>Pieter</p>

<div>Another positive thing: they did attribution right :) <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But using the OpenStreetMap.org tiles for a big production
website is not right. They are financed by the community for
mostly internal use. Larger websites using them run the risk
of being blocked. Maybe the site hit some rate limitations, or
maybe it was just a bad day. <br>
</div>
<div>The Belgian tile server can handle quite a bit of server
load, but also come without guarantees. You could get in touch
with Jonathan from geo-6, to analyse if our server can handle
the load. My guess is it probably would!</div>
<div>Of course, if you want real guarantees, you should go with
a commercial solution or host tiles yourself (see for example
<a href="https://switch2osm.org/providers/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://switch2osm.org/providers/</a>).

<div>Hey all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>first message to this mailing list !</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Last week I supported for some friends in the
Dodentocht (a 100km walk around Bornem).</div>
<div>Positive thing: the organisation uses openstreetmap in
their follow tool: <a
href="https://tracking.dodentocht.be" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://tracking.dodentocht.be</a></div>
<div>Negative thing: the maps were very slow (background not
loading, or slowly etc) probably due to the high local
demand. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The organisers used Leaflet to load the maps. I know we
have a dedicated server in Belgium (<a
href="http://tile.osm.be" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">tile.osm.be</a>) but that server
was not used.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What could we do to avoid this "slow loading" in case
of future events in Belgium? <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kind regards</div>
<div>Maarten<br>
