I'm sure it's has been noticeable, there is a significant uptake in users as well as a lot of traffic from the recent launch which is causing a significant slow down of the game. I am certain the dev team are working hard to fix the issues at hand and the game will be running smooth in no time.
Just a bit of context here, using web analytics tools you can see the game is seeing 10x it's normal traffic in the space of a day or so. There is also a lot of traffic from the US, making up nearly 30% of the web traffic. Average visitor duration is also at about 11 minutes 37 seconds, which is quite high for a standard webpage.
Just heading out to get some pizza for Henri and Allan who are trying to fix the high traffic issues. Hopefully we will find a solution l8 tonight, we will definitely keep you guys updated.
Thank you for this post! I will sticky it for now.

It's totally understandable, as soon as I saw the Reddit post I knew it would be hugged to death :(
Just want make it clear that this web traffic increase is exceptional especially in such a short space of time and the dev's are all over it.
Doing a lot better than Niantic right now.
