Ask HN: is gmail slow for everyone or just me

3 pointssimonQ3 comments

The site has seemed really slow to me for the last few days... and today it is unbearable. I haven't seen any official report on this. Am I the only one?

Here (Belgium, Europe) it's also unbearable slow most of the time. It even made me use imap to fetch mail. That seems to be unaffected by the slowness, so I guess they are only having issues with the front-end. That or they are re-factoring/changing the way it works.

I'm having the problem for a couple of weeks now by the way.

-- Edit: Just thought of it, wave could have something to do with it...

yeah i was thinking that too (that wave could be getting some of the servers)

Ups & downs, like that it's slow as molasses, like that it's lightning fast.

I think it's very much to do with how many people are trying to access the site during peak hours.
