  if you click Topics -> News[0] it takes 2.7 seconds. They should throw that subdomain behind https://memcached.org/ https://memcached.org/ (and not use php lol). Unrelated, seems like I can't listen to podcasts. There's an <audio> tag (which doesn't use data unless you click on play if you set preload="none" [1]), so that's an interesting choice. $ curl http://thin.npr.org/t.php?tid=1001 [...] Total wall clock time: 2.7s $ ping thin.npr.org [...] round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 76.407/78.359/86.985/2.442 ms [0] http://thin.npr.org/t.php?tid=1001 http://thin.npr.org/t.php?tid=1001 [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/audio https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/au...

    You don't put things behind Memcached. You put Memcached behind things.

      Varnish is an in-memory cache that sits in front of a site.

        Correct.

    "and not use php lol" PHP has warts, but I find it unlikely that it would be the reason for a 2.7 second page load.
