Hi all,There have been a few scattered reports of people having issues loading pages and / or images. Internally, everything seems to be running smoothly, and none of our engineers have been able to reproduce the issues that some of reported.
This points to some kind of routing issue — some section of the architecture between Etsy and your computer that isn’t working properly.
You can help us track this down by supplying us with some information:
1. What issue exactly are you seeing? Does it persist after refreshing the page? Does it persist after restarting your computer?
2. Where are you located?
3. (Advanced users) Can you paste a tracert from your machine to www.etsy.com ?
If we find anything, we’ll make an announcement and will take care of it. Thanks!

editorial:
I was just building a treasury and the images were really slow to load in the search results and in shops. Also in my favorites. Any page that had lots of thumbnails, basically.
The file that was hanging seemed to be google analytics. In my progress bar on the bottom, that was the thing that wasn’t loading. And when one items stalls out, the others won’t load until the stalled item loads. The images were like queued up behind google analytics, and wouldn’t load until it loaded.
I think it is related to this bug, also involving google analytics

Nah, that’s not necessary. Rokali reads UEN religiously, he will see it and determine if it’s useful info or not. But thanks for offering!
Anyway they might have fixed the problem already, some people are reporting improvement.

OK - completely forgot that everyone who’s anyone turns to UEN for the news as first call!
