Is that page using Fly.io for hosting?

It took 35 seconds for the initial HTML to load and then another 22 seconds for the javascript to finish loading.

I assume that's a static site, but is there is something else going on that made it take so long?

I guess it's struggling with the load. Fly doesn't auto-scale by default.

Bingo. Never thought it would get this popular and I am not using an architecture that autoscales elegantly. I'm adding more RAM and CPU cores to see if that helps.

I think I've scaled around the worst of this. Gonna go back to playing Zenless Zone Zero. Mention me on X if it breaks again.

I used to host everything on Fly, but I switched to CF Workers because of that.

Is the website not static and hosted via CDN?

Nope, not static, you can run apps on CF Workers.
