Ask HN: Why is LinkedIn's website so slow?

Since LinkedIn launched its new website, it has become unbearably slow — especially in Firefox, but also in Chrome. Even simple things, like clicking on the notification icon (which lights up for the dumbest things) takes many seconds to load a new page. Of course, checking notifications should probably be a dropdown instead of taking me to a separate page. But regardless, a new page load should never take this long.

How is it that such a well-known tech company can have such a slow website for its main product?
