Why is HN's website so slow today?
Why is HN's website so slow today?
I'm noticing the same thing. I thought it was my ISP as Facebook was down earlier as well.
Given the 3 or 4 posts about Facebook being down, I'm going to guess it is related. Either an unexpected increase in traffic or something related to the routing issue with FB.
I was just about to ask. I keep seeing this issue "We're having some trouble serving your request. Sorry!"
A few refreshes later the page loads.
I think you zombies are reloading HN obsessively since there is nothing else to do now that Facebook is down.
Apparently HN is a giant Facebook groups page with a custom theme.
