Extremely slow site loading times

For the past few weeks I've been seeing extremely slow load time (or never loading) for the main POE site, the trade site, and sometimes patching and even the in-game store. It seems like issues with the poecdn site. Is this a known problem? I haven't seen any posts about this anywhere and thought it was a local issue, but I have no problems on any other sites or games (gigabit ethernet, all other sites/downloads/etc are fast as normal).

I can ping the poecdn URL without issue (and the response is fast, <15ms), but files seem to take forever--whether it's the patcher, the store in-game, or images on the site. As we speak I still have no profile picture and chrome's loading circle is still spinning, and I've been typing this for a couple minutes.

If things are still this slow on Friday the launch will probably go poorly. :(

I had the issue likes your when my system clock was without sync. Even now, when i desync it.

honestly it's probably just a connection issue, not you or GGG just somewhere in between slowing your connection right down for no apparent reason, you could try a VPN but it should fix itself eventualy (rather it will be reported to whoever operates the problem node and they'll fix it)

i can't play on my templar at all because of the loading times, the best character i have right now is unuseable and unplayable right now only my shadow had 2 seccond loading time but my templar loading forever

It's not in-game loading times or lag, that's fine (other than the mtx store, which I'm guessing loads from the CDN like the patcher/website does).

It's possible, or even likely, that it's something between me and GGG. But as far as I can tell it's solely GGG's poecdn site that's slow, and it's pretty consistent--it's happening again right now, though it was better yesterday after I posted. Traces/pings to poecdn are fine, no unusual lag or packet loss.

agree, unplayable

My friend had a really long loading screen. We found a solution that might work for you too. If I'm bringing up an old topic, my bad.
