Due to an unexpected hardware issue, the Smartmessages service will be down for around half an hour this evening at approx 21:30 UK time.
Update: It started a little later and took a little longer than expected, but all work has been completed successfully and everything is back online.

Smartmessages performance boost
Today we're happy to announce a big performance boost to smartmessages.net. We've migrated our whole platform to PHP 7, so you'll see a huge boost in page load speeds (which were pretty good to start with!) and email send rates.
We've also improved our TLS configuration (still an A+ rating on SSL Labs!) with the addition of ChaCha20/Poly1305 cipher suites, which give massively improved performance on low-power devices such as phones.
We hope you like it!

Database update
Yesterday we ran into some database issues that resulted in the system being very slow. We had partly commissioned a new database server, so rather than fixing the problem on the old server, we worked around it by completing the configuration of the new server and deploying it into production.
This accomplished what we hoped - a massive performance improvement across the board.
We apologies for the slow performance yesterday, but hope you enjoy the enormous speed boost you've got today!
