Some people are experiencing positively glacial performance from the site. It's an issue with Squarespace, who are investigating.
Squarespace Help are asking for information from people suffering from slow performance. Here's the details. Answers in the comments [or by email] please:
I'll need to know your visitors IP address. To find it, visit this site:
http://www.whatismyip.com
I'll also need them to do a traceroute. If you're using a Mac, open Spotlight by pressing Command+Space and open the Terminal.
Then, type traceroute and a space followed by your domain name. Press Enter.
If you're on a PC, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
Then, type tracert and a space followed by your domain name. Press Enter.
Once you've done that, you'll need to do two more traceroutes: one for CNAME and another for IP
Update the CNAME and IP for the customer's platform:
CNAME:
five.squarespace.com
IP
65.39.205.54
When all three traceroutes are done, copy everything in the Terminal or Command Prompt and paste it into your reply along with your IP address.
Thanks.
