Not to argue, just to post a contrasting view: while FB, and a lot of the internet, failed or slowed today—and I know there were tons of reports of HN slowing too—I also experienced a phone death and attempted to hobble along by putting my SIM back in my old iPhone 5. Basically the only thing that worked was HN. In fact it loaded as quickly as I’d expect.
There’s plenty of stuff I’d like to be different about usability of this site, but perf is basically at the bottom of that list.
- ehsankia 5y agoMost of the things I listed weren't really perf related, though they do show up when there's perf issues. Being able to "load more comments" and reply inline are super basic usability features. There's no reason why I'd need to navigate to a whole different page with a textbox, then navigate back and lose my position every time I post a comment.
