I don't think it's just GitHub. I noticed everything seemed slow but thought it was just my ISP. Turns out from looking at downdetector.com there seems to be a large spike in reported problems across many sites and providers, all occurring at the same time.

Yeah apparently Centurylink and Comcast are having issues as well. Customers have been complaining about slow load times with our products today. Coworkers complaining about slow load times in general and especially with Salesforce. I’m being rerouted from my local CloudFlare data center to Chicago as well.

Not entirely sure what’s up, but this doesn’t thing like an issue limited to only GitHub.

I thought this at first too but downdetector sorts all the problem sites to the top which makes it look like the internet is melting when you first look at it. It actually seems reasonable for this many sites to be having issues at any one given time.
