Help Us Help You!
{: .subtitle }
Issues are perfect for requesting a feature/enhancement or reporting a suspected bug.
We use the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues) to keep track of issues in Traefik.
The process of sorting and checking the issues is a daunting task, and requires a lot of work (more than an hour a day ... just for sorting).
To save us some time and get quicker feedback, be sure to follow the guide lines below.
To help us (and other community members) quickly and easily understand what you need,
