Feedly says a bug, rather than its shift toward cyber-threat intelligence, caused a weeklong slowdown that users described as making its web RSS reader unusable.

Chief executive Edwin Khodabakchian said the company released a fix Friday for an issue connected to marking items read on accounts with many folders, and is still checking whether it resolved the problem for all users. Feedly later added the issue to its status page.

The company also said it would investigate reported iOS loading failures.
