It may have felt really slow for me yesterday because I switched from fiber internet back to cable internet.
As for the node.. yeah apparently too many people are using it because its the default option. Switch for a much better experience.
I think the Web Walet uses that node too, right?
In the future, maybe we should just provide more remote nodes option (or a better host for the main one).
New explorers too... So many things we have to do yet

But anyway that's why I always say: It's always better to run your own node.
