Recently we've received a number of complaints about the speed of our website or, more accurately, its lack of speed. This has puzzled us greatly because we have been unable to spot any problems with how things are working. If anything, we are
faster
than we've ever been.
Starting about a week ago however, another piece of the puzzle started showing up in some user reports – Norton. Here's an example:
