Slowed Website

connecting to s0.wp.com took forever

Loading s0.wp.com should usually be as fast, or even faster than loading other resources on your site as WordPress.com uses multiple data centers, and serves data from the data center the closest to your location.

Could you try running a traceroute for that URL so we can understand why you’re having trouble accessing WordPress.com from your network?

You can find out how to run a traceroute here:

Let me know how it goes!

If you’d like, you can also sent us the traceroute results via this contact form:

Thanks!
