I've noticed everything feeling a whole lot less snappy and responsive over the past few days - ironically I think it's because they've done a major rewrite of the frontend presumably with the aim of making it more snappy and responsive!

I feel like it's not only GitHub... Slack is very slow, too.

I've been getting a couple generic Cloudflare 521 responses across a weird mix of big and not-big sites this morning. Things have felt a little off.
