I am getting a loading screen on https://telemetry.polkadot.io/ today, possibly because of the ordinals craze and large number of TX.
Any idea of how to fix this?

I'm afraid I'm not at a work computer right now. High numbers of TXs shouldn't be impacting telemetry (iirc telemetry doesn't receive any sort of TX related information anyway).

It might be that a lot of people are suddenly trying to browse telemetry (Erin linked me the stats but I can't view them ATM so not sure whether this is true), which is pretty much the most taxing side of things. The fix isn't each but would probably be optimising the UI to only ask for currently visible data or something along those lines; otherwise the backend has to send out a large amount of data every time a user connects or changes window, and when things get slow and users start hitting refresh, it only makes everything worse!
