Ask HN: Has HN been loading slow lately?
HN used to be the fastest site to load on the internets. It's been loading (really) slowly for the past few days. Is it my internet?
- LinuxBender 5y agoI think it may be on your end or something in between. HN has been snappy for me and I visit it daily. Have you tried opening the web developer console in the browser to see what is taking a long time? Tools -> Web Developer -> Web Console -> Network tab in Firerox If you have curl, you could try this: #!/bin/bash set -o posix TIMEFORMAT=%R time curl -# \ --connect-timeout 4 --retry 2 \ -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0" \ -H "Accept-Charset: UTF-8" \ -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" \ -H "Accept: */*" \ -H "Accept-Language: en" \ -H "Cache-Control: 0" \ -H "Connection: keep-alive" \ -w "# tcp:\t\t%{time_connect}\n# tries:\t%{num_connects}\n# dns:\t\t%{time_namelookup}\n# ssl:\t\t%{time_appconnect}\n# size_dl:\t%{size_download}\n# speed_dl:\t%{speed_download}\n# url:\t\t%{url_effective}\n# total:\t%{time_total}\n# Real Time:\t" \ -o /dev/null https://news.ycombinator.com/robots.txt The reason I suggest using robots.txt is so that multiple people can run that and compare notes to something constant. Here is my output: ./test.sh ######################################################################## 100.0% # tcp: 0.066 # tries: 1 # dns: 0.004 # ssl: 0.484 # size_dl: 158 # speed_dl: 285.000 # url: https://news.ycombinator.com/robots.txt # total: 0.554 # Real Time: 0.569

- LinuxBender 5y agoThe TCP and SSL handshake are pretty high if you are in the U.S. HN is hosted in San Diego. Are you by chance on a wireless network?
