The slowness has rendered the site unusable.

Added: And of course this reply posted almost immediately.

I haven't had any issues since the fix last week

EDIT - And just like that, as soon as I posted the above I started getting "Site can't be reached" again.

It's been hit or miss here. Sometimes it fires right in. Others, it spins until timing out. Generally hit the refresh button and it loads right up thereafter.
