master jart@luna:~/cosmo$ time curl --tcp-fastopen -L 'https://www.reddit.com/r/torties/comments/1hldi83/i_adopted_two_girls/' 2>/dev/null | head -c1 >/dev/null

But if you're logged in as "jart" and use that chrome inspect feature to "copy as curl command" and run it on the shell, then the above URL takes 800ms to respond. Pretty much every page on Reddit takes 800ms+ to send back the first byte of content. Yes I use old reddit mode. I imagine the same problem afflicts all your long time loyal fans who uses Reddit while logged in. FWIW my ping to reddit.com is 4.5ms.
- jedberg 2y agoSomething is broken in your profile then. I also use old reddit and most pages load within 150ms for me.
- jart 2y agoAny idea how I get unbroken?
- jedberg 2y agoYou could contact them but honestly that probably wouldn't work very well. Things that might help: switch your settings from old reddit to new reddit, use new reddit to load a few pages, and then switch back. Also try using "newest" reddit at https://sh.reddit.com https://sh.reddit.com.
- jart 2y agoHey that brought it down to about 650ms. Thank you! That's a noticeable improvement.
