It could be both? A wider outage at a high traffic time.

HN is timing out constantly for me. So are some Microsoft services. But then some other websites are loading fine...

HN timeouts only applied while logged in with me

Correct - logged out pages are cached and should serve much faster.

NB, someone was commenting a week ago that HN was observed as faster when logged in, not out:

Like any typical developer, my response is "that shouldn't be happening".

If it is happening, that would be most interesting - but we'd need to test to be sure.

Yeah, that's my sense as well.

Speculation was that it might have been anti-bot countermeasures.

I've ... encountered those a few times recently doing my HN front-page research. Though not presenting as latency.

That would imply a slowness on the server and not with general internet peering
