Blimey. 30 seconds is reasonable? I suppose you can meditate while waiting for a page to load. Is this common?
I just tested it at dotcom-monitor which gives results from multiple countries. China is way out there, 40-50 seconds to load. On inspection it seems it is blocking resources from google domains, even benign things like jQuery or the font loader.
@blake, this seems like a serious issue that will majorly impact our users in mainland China. Can you check it out? It seems we should probably avoid serving anything from a google domain. I will expand on this in another thread.
