Steemit slow?

Using Steemit to access the blockchain has been very slow for me lately. All my other sites seem normal, but Steemit has been loading really slow for days. And sometimes, clicking links does nothing, or has an unexpected result such as sending me to the top of the current page. Others seem to be noticing this, too.

Glitchy and unreliable is okay for regular social media, but if people are doing financial transactions on here, or maybe even running a business, they could be in trouble.

Is Steemit hoping to be stable and reliable enough for members to conduct business and financial transactions here?
