Ask HN: Do you have CPU or network spikes when opening HN?
Do you have CPU or network spikes when opening HN?
None here. HN is nearly the lightest-weight site I use. Have you tried disabling all addons to see if one of them is choking on something? If using Firefox ago to about:processes to see where the spike is within the browser. There is probably a way to do this in Chrome as well but I have no idea how.
Also a while back someone was saying they were seeing packet loss on an IPv6 path to HN that was causing slowness for them. Are you on IPv4 or IPv6? Cellphone?
What's your astrological sign?
I know someone who is Aries. Can you imagine?
