- nrmitchi 5y agoIf you're not logged in it's likely static served from cache.
- kreetx 5y agoThis appears to be the case. Unlike one of the other comments, hn is slow relatively rarely (perhaps a few times a year).
- Kenji 5y agoYes, that's normal. If you're not logged in, HN serves you a cached version that is a couple dozen seconds old. That's super fast. If you're logged in, HN has to generate the page based on the previous actions and properties of your account (e.g. upvotes, favourites, etc.) with every HTTP request.
