 Right now this trac server is returning 503 errors half the time for me.

 You can also check this by running this a few times:

 `curl -o /dev/null -s -w "%{http_code}\n"  https://trac.ffmpeg.org/`

 Seems like the server needs a capacity upgrade?  Or database rebuild?

 Alternatively, I imagine the majority of traffic is to the ffmpeg wiki
 documentation pages from logged out users, meaning they're just accessing
 static content that's identical between viewers. Some more aggressive
 caching might relieve the load from these views. It would require setting
 the right caching headers, but something like Cloudflare could even be
 used to cache that static content for logged out user and relieve the load
 from the trac server. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
