Took me almost 30 seconds to load, maybe because the server is being hammered by HN traffic right now? Also like others here were saying, using a CDN would definitely help with the initial latency.
- dmlittle 10y agoWeird, it took me just 194ms.
- turtlebits 10y agoYep, I thought this was a joke at first because it took 10+ seconds to connect.
- PunchTornado 10y agoI guess it depends on traffic and wherever you are. it took me about 4 seconds on first load.
- AOsborn 10y agoI think this is the ironic lesson: for many sites, optimizing for consistent performance (i.e. CDN, geographic caching) is a more important objective than prematurely optimizing for a subset of users. Example: Business A - average render time 0.3s, but under load 5-10s Business B - average render time 0.8s, but under load 1-2s. Subjectively, around ~10s response time is the point I would close the tab and look for another business if I was trying to do shopping online, anything involving a credit card etc.
