I remember when I thought I was cool logging into AOL. That sound got stuck in my head, and gave me nightmares.

Site has been running fine for months. They (or their host) might be under DDoS attack. It happens all the time lately on internet. Or it might be just their hosting having troubles in general.

Hey admins drop me a line if you need help. I do this for a living and might have some ideas.

If it's a DDoS attack then it's pretty weak compared the one when we banned all the users profiting on invite codes for the site. If I had to guess I'd say it's the hosting.

"Fine" is pretty relative. There's been occasions where the load times got up to 1 min on the last months.
And there have been others where there was nearly no load time at all.

The consensus seems to be that the troubles with Steam today have affected s.gifts in some way...

No, it's being hosted on a 2G phone.

I've often had very bad loading times at Steam Gifts. It's probably the slowest site I regularly visit.

Even a toaster can handle more web traffic.
