Need I say more - your server is a bit slow!

How/where can I report/

This may be a side effect of the service disruption they’re experiencing. I’d hold off until everything is green again.

Doubtful @rmbolger, as letsencrypt.org is hosted on the public data center while the disruption is affecting High Assurance Datacenter 1 and High Assurance Datacenter 2?

We will reach out to Netlify about this.

From your

I guess, I would say "YES", please say more.

I don't see how the "timestamp" on a web page indicates the current time on that system.
[If that's what you are implying.]

I do see that different systems returned different timestamps:

I was having a lot of errors failing to obtain the certificate status. After 2-3 days of this, I followed up on How to solve OCSP_check_validity() error? withut reading it carefully.
I expected the times to be close. They were not.

However the problem appears to have cleared now. So I can’t get any new evidence.
