in thread super slow

So is anybody looking into this? Right now it's taking 20-30 seconds to load a page and I'm on a ~150 Mbps connection here. With those kind of delays, most people will already have clicked away assuming the site is down. Even if the site is no longer as active as it once was, it's still a massive knowledgebase, but if people are Googling Perl questions and encountering a site that's "apparently down", that's really not good for this site's reputation.

    If it helps, the browser dev tools say the TLS handshake is taking about 30 seconds.

      In Firefox, increasing network.http.tls-handshake-timeout in about:config to 120 helped to make the site work, but each page takes about 2 minutes to load.
