It’s working at the usual speed for me (editor and live) although I didn’t experience any of the issues encountered by others yesterday. Based in the UK although I’m not sure that actually makes any difference.
The site is not quite ready for the limelight, so I blurred the URL now, from what you’re saying it seems like it’s something going on on my end. If the bug report uncovers something others might be interested in, I’ll share it here.
