Please wait...

[Ron]

When visiting the site today I keep getting a screen that states 'Please wait while your request is being verified' before GA opens in Chrome's newest iteration and also the most previous one before I updated Chrome this afternoon. This is new. Any idea what's going on?

I'm getting that too at times on edge.

I was able to replicate, but doesn't appear when switching pages within GA. If I exit out and then go back in, it happened the second time, but did not happen on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th time going back into GA.

Using Chrome too.

I am getting that message on both Chrome and Edge.

I use Fire Fox, same thing is happening there.

I get it, and I really commend @Myr and the staff for everything they’re doing. The purpose behind these bot attacks may never be known, nor the people responsible, but it’s clear GA is doing all they can to protect the site. If a pop‑up is what it takes to keep things secure, then it’s absolutely worth it.

Hopefully this is over for now.

Russia's data centers are being hit by Ukraine so maybe that's where it was coming from.
