I come on to Mumsnet, look at a couple of pages, then click to another (no particular page) and it takes an AGE to load.
I don't think it's my computer exactly - if I click onto, say the BBC it loads immediately, then back to Mumsnet and it's slow again. If I try and try eventually it will load at normal speed and I get a couple of normal speed page changes till it does it again.
Could it be a new advert? Has anyone else had this?

It's just done it to me. It's like it's having to think about loading the page.
OK. Did you notice which ads were showing when it finally loaded?

nope, i don't think it is linked to ads now
yes, changing a page/commenting takes an age
and it's definitely MN problem, have logged in on 2 differing browsers and is still slow

Yep - I thought I had got a nasty virus too!! First page loads ok, then next page takes ages and ages (actually quicker to log out and log in again!!). I am quite relieved that I'm not the only one

my screen is blank when it happens, white over, so can't tell which ads are playing, HelenMNHQ

I have noticed it says connecting to ads2.mumsnet.com and even b.scorecard.research.com if that helps. Getting so fed up I may have to disappear for a day or so....... I also use Firefox - would this be the problem??

That P&O ad on the MN home page doesn't even fit on my laptop screen, it goes off the edges. 
Google chrome here.

aha!
just noticed 'waiting for skimresources...' on chrome
'waiting for cdnmn' or similar on firefox
OK. We'll try to work out what's occurring.
Do let us know if it gets any better.

Actually DameMargot I agree - it STILL isn't brilliant is it - back to the drawing board please MNHQ
Still? <whimpers, holding Tech in half-Nelson>

am not convinced, i bet you've let Tech go by now haven't you?
I can barely access MN at all from my phone now. 
However I can access it fine via the PC except that I can't take the PC into bed to MN during night feeds

Yep, it's still bad this morning. Although I can occasionally get MN to load on my phone now!

Worse this morning.
Seriously contemplating returning to real life.

BalloonSlayer- but...real life is just as slow and frustrating! And there you don't get wonderful halloween themed emotions! 
<serious face> We are sorry that the site is being so sluggish. Tech are aware, and we will try to sort it out asap.
