HACS very slow

Configuration
1

HACS yesterday became very slow to the point of not being usable anymore.

I cannot update anything anymore. It just sorts there and spins forever. When I try to see the details of a new integration from the store, that times out:

1000022954
10000229541080×2340 69.2 KB

The rest of HA is working normally.

Using

  • HACS 1.3.4
  • Core 2024.1.6
  • supervisor 2024.01.1

No obvious errors in the logs

The details are loaded from GitHub repositories and if GitHub is slow, then this function in HACS will be too.
It is not uncommon for GitHub to have hiccups now and then.

That could be an explanation. However, it slowed down yesterday and stayed slow since, while I can work normally with GitHub otherwise.

I just tried to reinstall HACS and noticed that something is wrong on the HACS end as well, running the HACS wget leads to

failed: Operation timed out.

HACS wget is also using GitHub.
GitHub is everywhere in the Open Source world and HA and all other integrations and addon might also have problems then.

I think I solved it with this hint:

I had to disable IPv6 in networking.
