Like, it takes at least 20 seconds for anything on the site to load, is it just my connection or what?

The speed is going up and down. One minute I get page loads virtually instantly, the next they're taking 10 seconds.

Seems to alternate between slow and fast. The site being slow is actually good, though, since it means there's a lot of traffic.

It was pretty fast earlier, but then the site started popping up with this 505 error and now it's slowed down quite a bit.

The loads times have gotten better for me. Probably because there was such a huge influx of new members.

My guess is that they still need to do a bit of optimizations to the websites code and possibly some database optimizations.  I'm sure by the time the beta ends it will be running as smooth as comicvine dos.

I have noticed a big increase in speed recently, especially after the first day. Browsing the site is ok, but trying to edit and change things is hella slow.
