Do the bakers power it down to a laptop before going to bed?  This has always been a problem for me, whether I use IE11 or Chrome. It picks up to normal after lunch.  All other stuff I access on the net is up to speed a.m. or p.m. 

Amazingly enough, it's very slow during the middle of the night here across the pond...
 
Heh.

The servers are solar powered?

 
I've noticed that too John, and it was particularly bad this morning.

Yep, same for me.

I'm more concerned with wondering why I'm so slow in the morning. 

It takes a long time to travel through that wire under the water....
 
I think they have been working on the forum software.... I see it has a new look this morning.
 
 
But to the speed issue.... yeah, it's been really slow here on the east coast over the past few weeks. Several mornings, it was so slow I closed the window and did something else.

I prefer shutting the door before I do anything else

Mentally or physically?  In my case, it's both.  

Always the same. Slows down around 2am Eastern time. Always has done, with the old forum software too. When they introduced the new software Cake blamed the slowness on all the new content being accessed by spiders while it was indexed, but that was months ago and the slowness persists. They just updated the software and it's still slow. So it has to be their server.
