The Github website is slow everywhere. It is truly a piece of shit software both in terms of performance but also UX/UI and everything in between.

It's a product of many cooks and their brilliant ideas and KPIs, a social network for devs and code being the most "brilliant" of them all. For day to day dev operations is something so mediocre even Gitlab looks like the golden standard compared to Github.

And no, the problem is not "Rails" or [ insert any other tech BS to deflect the real problems ].

It's frustrating, because GitHub used to perform quite well, before it was a single page app.

Github's Primer design system was wonderful when it was a pure CSS system that could be used with any framework. Sadly, M$ killed that and made the new Primer design system shitty-React consumption only.
