Speed isn't everything. Hacker News has been recently one of the most unreliable website I frequent.

  What problems are you referring to? I've never had any issues.

  What about it has been unreliable for you?

    it's down pretty often.

    About once every few weeks, the site is hard-down for posting for several hours.

      Downvote me all you want, https://twitter.com/HNStatus https://twitter.com/HNStatus has all the data supporting my assertion.

        HN hasn't been down for that long in a year.

  The whole point of this whole thread in a nutshell is that speed is greatly underrated. Besides this thread we had a bunch of "We discovered that adblockers clean up and speed up browsing experience by x%. Now why is that?" threads in the last month posted here. There's a reason for that. As for reliability... I don't have complaints, honestly. Maybe I spend less time here than you. My only gripe with HN is the search stuff they use (Algolia). It's almost unusable on my mobile, broken in Opera Mini, and just crappy on my desktop browser.

    Agree, it should be improved on mobile. I would love to hear more about your desktop experience, what would be the improvement you would love to see?
