6 minutes to load Xfinity Gateway Portal (10.0.0.1)?

Something changed recently. I used to be able to go to 10.0.0.1 to manage my gateway and the portal would load immediately. It's now taking 6 MINUTES to load! I timed the load times several times using my browser's dev tools, and each time the portal won't load until 6 minutes have passed. This seems like something that was intentionally implemented and is absolutely unacceptable. What was the purpose of making this ridiculous change, and please don't tell me it's to force users to use the Xfinity app because that's just asinine. I'm a paying customer and should be allowed to do whatever I need to with my network.
