There’s no reason to throw your computer out the window.
If you’ve noticed some websites have been loading slowly or not at all, you’ll be relieved to know it’s not you or your machine.
The culprit is an Amazon Web Services issue, which has caused “increased error rates” for east coast based websites Tuesday afternoon.
It’s unclear what caused the issue. Amazon said in an update that they are continuing “to experience high error rates” in the affected area. The company said they “believe we understand root cause, and are working on implementing what we believe will remediate the issue.”
