Reddit is down...
in Forum Help! ·
So, Chrome threw this error at me first thing this morning—now I’m stuck browsing the forum using only Firefox 🙂

How can I optimize and speed up Reddit?
in Feedback & Suggestions ·
I’m not entirely sure if this topic has been brought up yet—or if we’ve already beaten this drum a few times—but I really feel like some action needs to be taken here.
Reddit has been feeling pretty sluggish lately, hasn't it? We've all noticed those endless notifications and ads (total spam) popping up everywhere. Plus, the site keeps freezing up, and whenever you try to search for something, you're stuck staring at a loading screen for thirty seconds—and if you miss that window, you're right back where you started, waiting all over again. It’s a bit of a loop. How do we stop this? How do we actually get the site running smoothly? I've also noticed there are a ton of duplicate threads and just plain nonsensical posts cluttering things up.
My suggestion—and bear with me here—is that they should set up more servers in major US hubs (maybe one in Indianapolis, one in San Diego, and a bunch more in Washington, D.C., to handle the bulk of the traffic). Expanding the server network would create more room for everyone and make searching through the forums way faster. Let me know what you guys think!
