Ask HN: Is HN slower than usual?

Seems like the internet in general is a bit hiccup-y, spotify & discord down, etc.

Same observation here in western Europe

Not down, just slow to respond and periodically getting the "We're having trouble serving your request" page

For what it's worth, when HN has speed issues, the ubiquitous answer is to log out.

If you're not logged in, they give a static page that is served quickly with little effort on the server's part.

I tried that today. It didn't help, but it usually does.

Internet is a bit slow here in Eastern Europe.. not just HN.

Everyone checking about other outages, perhaps.

Note that there's a war on.

It seems normal now.

spotify works, hn was down a few minutes ago

yes same here
