Nope, it's smooth as silk for me. It might be your own internet connection. Depending on where you're from and what your speed/bandwith is, could hugely impact on how certain sites are loaded.

Try running http://www.speedtest.net/, and see what your own ping actually is, it might be the reason.

I don´t think it is his internet connection. Bitfinex has been subject to a DDoS attack since 1-2 days.
Other exchanges have been affected as well.

You can read this on their Twitter feed:

Bitfinex has been under significant denial-of-service attack for the past several days.
The attack has recently worsened. Please monitor https://bitfinex.statuspage.io/  for ongoing updates.

According to the statuspage the page is running fine now after experiencing several outages yesterday.
