this may be an issue somewhere between you and flight rising.
basically when you connect to a website, you do not connect directly to the servers, and instead your connection will travel through several relay points. the slowness you are experiencing is likely issues in one of these points between you and the server.
basically no matter how incredibly fast you get service at grocery store, getting the food home will still be slow if the issue is a roadwork between you and the store slowing down the traffic.
[to everyone else: yes i've tried pretty much everything else one could conventionally try to speed up the site. no effect. clear cache, more site cache, different browser, turning on adblock, restart pc etc etc.]
this is likely due to what @/Ralzakark suggested with relay points, though, i have seen people talk about the fact that a lot of the site image loading responsibility is player side, which is, while cheaper on the game's running costs, makes it so that certain users who are either located unfortunately or have less ram to spare may have the site be unplayable or approaching so.
So this may be an optimization issue, though i'm glad it's less widespread than i thought.
For location troubleshooting, I'm in PA specifically (i don't remember if we're allowed to be more specific on the forums) if anyone around that area can confirm if they have the same issue.

East coaster here, I think this might be an issue on your end? Flight Rising loads fine for me, except when I have something slowing down my computer

Yeah, this is what I was talking about when I mentioned "routing" as an issue.
Doing a traceroute can help you troubleshoot, and these problems can sometimes be solved by a VPN, but otherwise there's not much you can do when your ISP's connection decides to take the traffic jam detour.

Imagination is the reality of our dreamscape.
This is definitely not a universal east coast or eastern half of the US experience. I'm in the Midwest US and I used to play this game when I lived in New England and I don't (and didn't) have those kinds of issues. There is a little bit more lag during fests because of heavier user load but we tend to not see outright server crashes unless a dom battle is happening and even then it's breaking the AH.

It's just utterly bizarre because i'm using a very popular major isp [same one as back then too] and and there's quite literally no other site or multiplayer game that stutters for me this severely, so that's why I have a feeling it's not on my isp Alone if that makes sense?
+certain site elements like the scenes cause lag even for people with otherwise good ping, so i'm still inclined to say there are things that could be done to optimize assets loading in [or at least a rezolution toggle as a bandaid?] because i literally have to watch coli buttons load in one by one in half second intervals and that's just not any sort of ok

It's also definitely proportional to amount of images i'm loading because certain dragon pages with apparel/scenes/etc can take 10+ whole seconds to load and it just looks like i don't get to load my hoard at all unless i get lucky

But whatever it is, it looks like playing the game is just not in the cards for me anytime soon
Maybe i'll try again after i move apartments but it's not that big a difference so i don't expect a change

Sorry but can confirm, it is most definitely not an EST time zone problem nor one localized to PA. I have family in that area that I frequently visit and have never had any trouble accessing, loading, or otherwise using FR when I'm up there.
5-10 seconds (have you actually timed this? a video would be helpful) is a very long time Internet-wise and definitely seems to suggest there is an issue of some kind on your end. Just out of curiosity, how old/new is the device(s) you're using to access FR? What sort of graphics card do you have? If it's old or a device that's not optimized for heavy internet use, that could explain why FR in particular is giving you trouble.
I've only ever had trouble with FR on certain devices, regardless of where I was. An older tablet, a cheap laptop, an ancient smartphone, things like that, even when some of them were able to run a site like Youtube just fine (I suspect because Youtube technically still buffers/pre-loads video).

Unfortunately from what I've seen, this routing issue seems to rarely hit people completely at random.
