FamilySearch website

Has anyone noticed a drastic slow down on the FamilySearch website today? I've tried three different browsers, restarted my computer, etc.; checked my internet connections.

Hi It seems to be working fine now. Are you still having issues.

It’s slow for me as well, since the new film browser was released.

As in slow like back in the ages of the dial-up internet and sometimes it just gives an “Unable to load image” error…

Also search takes ages to load.

I’ve noticed last month when I could still use the old film browser version that it was much faster then the new one.
I’m just sad that with all these new UI updates the speed was downgraded drastically :(

Additional info:

The speed really depends on the which backend the load-balancer directs you. For me most of the time the sloooow one.
