As others have pointed out — main page loads almost always run through our CDN, but secondary requests go to the server.
And we have dealt with some intermittent slowdowns of late — which if there is one thing to blame it's much more webcrawling these days which affects all sites. We work to mitigate as much as possible but it can still be a resource hit.
I think (?) it's just your internet. Maybe something to do with Dev.to's CDN? I'm on the east coast of the US, and I haven't noticed anything.
What’s the first load time for you approximately, if I may ask?
About 4 seconds on a hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R on Firefox), and about a second on a normal refresh.
Don’t notice a difference
I don’t think I noticed much difference, how bad is it for you?
Like, much slower first load — was almost instant before. Further navigations are OK. Maybe it’s an ISP issue or something.
6.3seconds home page full load for me, never was instant to be honest
Hm… that’s long… About my level of long… I am pretty sure there was some caching or something which made it load faster before (the matter of couple of seconds at most). Maybe my part of the CDN got broken now or something 😅 but in this case yours was always broken!
I suppose so, not sure if there’s a technical email we could write. One could hope that the team notices this post & points us to the right direction.
For posterity Dev.to in Sweden has been apparently very slow and now UK(right?) slowed down as well
Yes, that’s a bit annoying — I literally used dev.to as a quick Internet connectivity test, and now I always feel my Internet is slow (though in fact it’s generally not) 😕
@ben would you know what might be the case for grown latency? Or is it us?
Thanks for the shout out, I just responded elsewhere in the thread.
