HN is painfully slow when I'm logged in. Is it the same for you?
So I noticed that HN loads painfully slow. At first I thought it's due to extensions, but then I noticed it only happens when I'm logged in to HN. That's weird. Is HN running analytics in the background? Why does it slow down the website for logged-in users?
It got really bad when SVB collapsed and it’s been somewhat bad ever since. There have been a couple of knock-down drag out discussions since then.
Anonymous visitors see cached pages. If you're logged in, the server needs to figure what you've up/down voted.
It's a little slower today but not terrible. It may be fixed soon.
