We are still keeping this issue open, whilst we monitor the load times, until the underlying AWS eu-west-2 is resolved. We are seeing load times coming down whilst we spin up more database instances

Monitoring

We have been able to spin up even more database resources which has alleviated some of the pressure on the running instances and the load time is coming down

It should be possible to access Signable however it may be a bit slower, due to the ongoing issues at eu-west-2.
