We are experiencing slow npm installing packages affecting builds local or triggered by ci pipelines.

When installing/packing from from hosted repos is quite quick, but a vast part of our packages comes from npmjs.org.

If the URL of the group proxy containing both our hosted and the remote storage locations, the packing and installing of npm packages are terribly slow.

We found this article, https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/11028, setting up the remote storage link to http instead of https and npm set progress=false; however, issues still persist.

We got in touch with our Cloud Network Team, but this is stopping development.

Any one of you have experienced this similar issues?

Any given help will be very appreciated.
