Why the traffic jam

Maybe it just needs this?

I've had bad internet, at times, 2 days in a row. Yesterday from about 8 AM to 2 PM and today from about 9 AM to 12 PM. Not just this site but everything.

I did an "Internet Speed Test" and the results were so bad it didn't even give me a number. Just a message that said "Your download results are very slow. You may be able to read web pages but images will take a long time to load".

I have DSL so it's not that fast but, when that was happening, I couldn't get anywhere. Right now it's fine.

I have 100/100 Mbps Fiber Optics and when accessing slow servers it reminds me of the DSL days~! Speed tests peg the needle on Speedtest.net And boy is it hard to handle when you don't click and it is fully loaded or downloaded.

IF on a device, perhaps try Puffin browser? All I've used for a couple of years now. Run @ about 800mbps, even on slower Internet.

Here too.
I have managed to get in for a few seconds then booted out since I woke up this morning.
Load balancer for the servers must have gone on vacation or something.

I "think" it is only bothering us East Coasters...(?) Not sure tho.

Unless they've moved Utah (which they should) it's more than just an east coast problem.

I haven't had any problems until this morning when I got the dreaded "404". No problems at any other sites I visit, so my first sinking thought was "Uhhht-ohh", we got shut down? But I didn't panic, just worked on some video all day, and now, here we are again. Talk about a sigh of relief!

I never thought of checking my Kindle.

Central time zone, Texas.
