Instagram embeds are incredibly slow

Does anybody else find this on v4.4.x

It wasn't like this on 4.3.

When I paste an instagram link I now have to wait around 10 seconds for it to auto-embed it, it used to be pretty much instant.

Any ideas?

Needed 3-4 seconds to embed. 

I get 3-4 seconds on a few sites in testing, this delay is in pulling data from the instagram side from what I can see.

6 seconds for this to embed for me - could it be a safari thing? (I don't use any other browser)

Well, lazy loading (if activated) intentionally delays embeds. Other than that, it’s just an iframe loading external content. That’s not really in IPS’s control.

I'll try turning lazy loading off - like I said it used to be pretty much instant.

Having trouble with IG embeds lately too. Sometimes it doesn't load an embed at all, or I get this message. 

The link could not be embedded because an error occurred on www.instagram.com.

That error generally indicates a bad response was returned from the provider - if it's behaving slowly, perhaps the request timed out for instance.
