Page load times have been very slow for some communities, especially those hosted on other instances, and especially over the past few days. Not sure if this was related to the maintenance over the weekend. Here’s some quick examples from a sample of 3 communities. I’m listing them in the order that I visited them (I’m not sure if images et. al. are cached across instances, but just in case):

• https://pawb.social/c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone - Load: 6.8s
• https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/196 - Load: 655ms
• https://lemmy.world/c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone - Load: 705ms

• https://lemmy.world/c/technology - Load: 705ms
• https://pawb.social/c/technology@lemmy.world - Load: 17.58ms
• https://yiffit.net/c/technology@lemmy.world - Load: 557ms

• https://yiffit.net/c/memes - Load: 557ms
• https://lemmy.world/c/memes@yiffit.net - Load: 699ms
• https://pawb.social/c/memes@yiffit.net - Load: 587ms

Of these three tests, we performed fine on one, but the other two were markedly slower. Refreshing the home feed (settings: Subscribed, New) has also been very slow (with load times in excess of 5 seconds being very common).

Is anyone else seeing this, or is this a ‘Me’ problem?

(I swear I don’t only complain.) :D
