@jeblad Are notifications still having problems at Nowiki?
I believe the database of older notifications was being synchronized, and had progressed up to around the letter "N" yesterday, so that might have been the cause of a severe slowdown (or perhaps not loading at all) for a few hours.

Re: "Notifications has previously being loading very slowly at nowiki" - is this still a problem? If so, please could you guess/estimate how slow exactly you mean?
Or perhaps take a screenshot of the Network panel of your browser (open it after loading a page, but before opening the flyout) like this:

We haven't reached N yet, we're still at mswiki, but that shouldn't affect anything.

WFM. If other users are complaining about this too, perhaps it could be related to a popular gadget or user script.

It seems like they loads much faster now, I would guess that it takes slightly more than a second.

Re-checked on nowiki - Notification flyout with cross-wiki messages expand in around a sec; Special:Notifications page loads in about one second time too.
