slow loading pages

55 replies

CanadianJohn · 19/06/2013 02:54

In the last couple of days, the "Talk" pages are loading really slowly. Occasionally the page that lists all the topics locks up, and I get a message - something about a long-running script.

In addition, the back button now takes TWO clicks to work... maybe it is stopping the script? Who knows.

I am using a desktop with Windoze 7 and IE9. I have multiple ad blockers and cookie blockers.

ah, it's starting doing it again. But only on the home page Confused.

PickleFish · 06/07/2013 22:12

oh, and google-analytics, and edge.qserve, and cdn.mn also are taking forever to load.

PickleFish · 06/07/2013 22:12

Yes, really having problems here too. Have been off and on for weeks, but getting worse.

It's the req.wunderloop, the bscore.something, the pinterest widget, the facebook connection, the twitter feed and a few others that come up all the time as 'waiting for...' and just so incredibly slow, spinning cursor, unresponsive scripts etc.

It also slows down other pages, if this site is still open in the background. It's slow to change from window to window, or tab to tab, so clearly something it taking up loads of processing. Soemtimes I can hear it whirring around, like it's doing something with the disk, but no need for it to be.

Firefox, mac.

I will add my name to this list.

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 06/07/2013 18:36

Thanks Tee - have swopped to Firefox and the problem has gone.

FruOla · 06/07/2013 17:35

It's been slow for me too over the last few days.

iMac, Firefox.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 06/07/2013 13:26

This may or may not be related but I'm finding pages load really slowly on the mobile site too, sometimes unbearably slowly.

I don't get any messages about scripts but the progress bar zips across to nearly complete and then chugs away for between a few seconds to probably a minute or longer.

fedupdownhere · 06/07/2013 13:09

I am getting this on every page I open pretty much and access MN from the computor now unless I am prepared to wait ages for it to load

BarbaraWoodlouse · 06/07/2013 12:01

Another one experiencing problems with this. Talk sidebar doesn't load at all from the main home page and all Talk pages load excruciatingly slowly.

Basically I pretty much can't MN at all from the PC now. Undaunted I'm using the iPad but there seems to be a major issue here Sad

5Foot5 · 05/07/2013 21:07

I started a thread on this 2 or 3 months ago. But in the last few days it seems to have got much worse. It now happens on nearly every page and it used to be only on the main Talk page

Tee2072 · 05/07/2013 17:39

Use a better browser. Anything but IE9.

Trust me on this...

scampidoodle · 05/07/2013 17:31

I'm getting this and my compatibility view (whatever that means) already had mumsnet added. It's too frustrating to bother trying now - I only came on here today to see if anyone else had the same problem!

Miamiami · 05/07/2013 17:27

Meglet thank you very much I think you have solved it for me Flowers

Miamiami · 05/07/2013 17:23

I am getting this too and lines of Chinese writing at the top of my pages Confused

AvengingGerbil · 05/07/2013 12:45

I get this too. Generally I have to go away and do something else!

Meglet · 05/07/2013 12:23

Right, I've put my tech head on and solved it on my laptop.

If you go to tools and unclick 'compatibility settings' it seems to help. I still have a yellow triangle 'Error on page' message in the bottom right hand of my screen but it's loading ok.

Any room in that shed for an apprentice tech? Wink

Allalonenow · 05/07/2013 11:23

Yes I'm getting the "not responding due to long running script" message all the time now.
I get it on the main topic pages, and active, and at page turning within the threads.
I'm on a laptop ATM, it doesn't seem to be a problem on the iPad.

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 04/07/2013 22:42

Yes I'm getting this - everytime I change pages I'm getting a 5-10 second delay and the 'slow running script' warning.

HelenMumsnet · 04/07/2013 12:29

Morning. And sorry folks. We'll see if the Tech team have any suggestions about this.

Meglet · 04/07/2013 12:22

I'm getting the 'slow running script' and a slow loading page on every Mumsnet page now. It only used to happen on the home page, but in the last 2 days it's pinged up an error message regardless of what topic I've clicked on.

No problems on other websites.

Thecatisatwat · 04/07/2013 11:29

I've had this problem for a few months as well. I don't get a long running script message, everything just takes ages to load and it seems to have to 'do' stuff to do with twitter and facebook (obv I'm not a techie!) before it will load anything. Am getting really pissed off actually, mumsnet used to be one of the first places I went to for info but nowadays I can't be arsed because it takes so long. Other websites seem fine so I don't think it's my laptop or internet connection.

catsmother · 26/06/2013 19:35

This has been driving me mad too for the last week or so - same long running script message. Doesn't matter what I click on - e.g. "threads I'm on", individual thread titles, category headers, threads I'm watching ..... neither does it seem to matter how long or short the thread is. I've clicked onto something, say, with just 10 replies and it still takes an absolute age to load.

I've never had a problem like this with MN before - and haven't done anything strange to my laptop either.

Any ideas or feedback ..... please, it's so frustrating !!

ShoeWhore · 25/06/2013 21:10

It's still happening to me now btw. Getting very irritating!

CanadianJohn · 25/06/2013 06:59

Bump. Any news on this?

I gotta say I spend less time on Mumsnet; it's very frustrating. If that long-running script is intended to bring in customers, it's having the reverse effect.

Pudden · 24/06/2013 09:21

exactly the same happens to me and has done for some time - very VERY slow to load and the error message almost every time I open a new topic/post

Bloody annoying
