One user, @Pat said the server is a bit sluggish for him today, but its fast for me.
Anyone else out there seeing a slow response from the server?
@freemo @Pat have you enabled the instance ticker? i think it does some kind of request which times out.
cf.

Found it. Changed to Mastodon default Theme (dark)" and now the pages are loading quickly.
More data points...
- I pinged all the IP4 addresses resolved from qoto.org and lb.qoto.org and they'e in the 20's ms.
- Tried to load video.qoto.org and the page loads are intermittently slow, but I think that may be related to snatching the videos from the various peertube instances.
@Pat
It is almost certainly the ticker's domain not resolving which gets you stuck on DNS resolution until it timesout.
