Is it only me? Is it because everybody is confined at home? I'm not having issues on other sites but NGA has been slow all day for me.

It has been intermittently sluggish for me as well over the past few days. I suspect that's because many people are now at home and Internet usage has gone up in general.

Only issue for me has been this site. Some slowness on a few other sites but nothing like this one. Takes me back to my dial up days.

I agree on thinking it's just overloaded. I would have been outside working today if it hadn't been so cold out and wet.

Like Amanda mentioned, it just appears to be NGA for me. Speed test upload/download is normal and other sites I visit are running at normal speed. I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Slow as molasses here today. Seems to be normal speed on other sites.

Yes, here too. Probably because less traffic in early a.m. It's still really early on the west coast.

We'll see. It could be a problem related to the geographic area where the server is located. Currently it's been the only slow site I've encountered.

My connection and the site speed seems to be normal here. Grocery chains may be using a centralized server for all their locations.
