You are now in line. Thank you for your patience. Your estimated wait time is 8 minutes.

Thanks Cloudflare, I almost considered buying a framework.

I just watched my wait time GO UP, from 2 mins to 3, I think I've had the tab open longer than the initial 7 minutes what is this garbage?

Mine went to 16 minutes.

FFS, it took me to the desktop thing, which I didn't care about, so I clicked "Framework 12" which I do care about.

Now I'm staring at:

> Your estimated wait time is 35 minutes.

I'm done, I'll see it when I see it, if I do.

Framework really had a flop of an announcement here this is a mess.

That's so bad for the launch... Especially since the landing page should be static, cached, and as easy to serve as the queue page.

Well, at least you can re-consinder in April, when the Framework Laptop 12 pre-orders begin. The new 13 inch is out now, though.

Your estimated wait time is 1 hour and 16 minutes.

You can't wait 8 minutes to make a computer buying decision? lol

Why should I wait? If I can't access the site to make a buying decision, imagine if I had a technical issue or needed support? Am I supposed to wait every time?

No thanks.

This is not a standard issue. They just had a large event, so a lot more people are trying to use the site relative to their standard visitor count. Traffic will probably be back down to standard levels in the next few hours, if you're able to wait that long without having a heart attack.

I lost interest, but it looks like nothing has changed. Pretty sad for a likely static page.
