Ask HN: Has HN been loading slow lately?
HN used to be the fastest site to load on the internets. It's been loading (really) slowly for the past few days. Is it my internet?
If you have curl, you could try this:
#!/bin/bash
set -o posix
TIMEFORMAT=%R
time curl -# \
--connect-timeout 4 --retry 2 \
-H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0" \
-H "Accept-Charset: UTF-8" \
-H "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" \
-H "Accept: */*" \
-H "Accept-Language: en" \
-H "Cache-Control: 0" \
-H "Connection: keep-alive" \
-w "# tcp:\t\t%{time_connect}\n# tries:\t%{num_connects}\n# dns:\t\t%{time_namelookup}\n# ssl:\t\t%{time_appconnect}\n# size_dl:\t%{size_download}\n# speed_dl:\t%{speed_download}\n# url:\t\t%{url_effective}\n# total:\t%{time_total}\n# Real Time:\t" \
