I'm currently trying to turn on my server, but for some unknown reason, the Minehunt page is taking an eternity to load, and when I was finally able to turn the server on, it took another 5 minutes of waiting before I was able to log into the server. When I was able to finally log in, I was having extreme lag, and I ended up getting a "Connection Timeout" message after getting kicked. Originally, I thought it might be my weather (currently heavy clouds), but that wouldn't make sense as I played on the server during much worse weather conditions (e.g. Heavy rain). Is there any reason as to why this is happening, and is there any way I can fix it? Or do I have to wait it out?
