Pages loading extrememly slowly...

SpanielofDoom · 21/10/2014 19:28

Using Windows 8 and Mozilla Firefox. Even worse when I was using Chrome.
It's been like this for a few hours now, pages just hanging or that annoying circle spinning round.
Have cleared cookies etc, just wondering if the issue is my end or if others having problems too. Other web pages are loading fine though.

Sorry - Kate. Blush

(There's clearly a problem with me.)

cozietoesie · 23/10/2014 19:16

No script messages for half an hour and things seem a bit quicker - no threads really hanging - so a qualified Yes, Rowan.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 23/10/2014 17:56

Its better for me.

enWoooquethesythebearingwizard · 23/10/2014 17:45

Thanks for the help Cozie Thanks Wine

enWoooquethesythebearingwizard · 23/10/2014 17:45

Testing Testing.
My posting issue was indeed Yes Script, which I'd had for a long time but which had only just started to affect MN.

Sorry folks

Any better?

enWoooquethesythebearingwizard · 22/10/2014 20:10

It's only just started misbehaving and I haven't downloaded any extra extensions. But I will double check thanks cozie

cozietoesie · 22/10/2014 19:44

I can't post etc if I block the script - maybe you've got an FF extension in place?

(Win 8 on a laptop as well.)

enWoooquethesythebearingwizard · 22/10/2014 18:29

cozietoesie I haven't had the unresponsive script on FF. I only seem to get that for Twitter.

I can still only view on FF, although on my tablet I can post.

I've got Windoze 8 on a laptop.

cozietoesie · 22/10/2014 17:03

Same here - but as an add-on, for a short while or so, I've also been getting a large number of 'unresponsive script' warnings from FF which seem to be connected with the slow loading. They're only on MN and resolving them via FF with a block prevented me from posting, removed bookmarks, a whole bunch of stuff.

As I said, it's only on MN - and I visit a lot of sites.

Sorry about this we are on the case.

Muchtoomuchtodo · 21/10/2014 21:17

Slow here on iPad. Slightly better than it was earlier but still far from normal.

enWoooquethesythebearingwizard · 21/10/2014 21:16

Exactly the same for me OP except that since yesterday I can't reply to anything on FF even though I've logged out, cleared cookies, logged in again. I can read, but not reply.
I've had to migrate to Chrome, but that's terribly slow too.

DraaaaghmaAlpacaaaagh · 21/10/2014 20:54

Same here, using Windows 7 & Chrome. Thought it was just me because the teens were downloading stuff.

FruVikingessOla · 21/10/2014 20:51

Me too.

iMac & Firefox.

Also, while I think of it, I've sometimes had to click on 'Preview' a couple of times and, similarly, click on 'Post' a couple of times because it just won't load the first time.

FryOneFatManic · 21/10/2014 20:41

It's happening here too (east mids). Driving me nuts, so with the headache I've got, think I'll iron my work clothes and clear off to bed.

aJumpedUpPantryBoy · 21/10/2014 20:41

Mine too - just accused DH of hogging the bandwidth Blush

thebrideishighbutimholdingon · 21/10/2014 20:36

Same here. Firefox. MN much slower than usual and slower than other sites.

PinkSquash · 21/10/2014 20:35

On Samsung galaxy S2 using Chrome and it is very slow. I thought it was me.

Although it could work ib my favour of getting to bed early if it keeps up.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 21/10/2014 20:33

Windows 7 and Chrome. Very, very slow.

Slooooooooooooo-ooooooooooow.
Firefox, whatever the latest version is. PC. Sloooooooooo-ooooooooooooow.

FruitBasedDrinkForALady · 21/10/2014 20:25

Very slow here too...good job I read this before giving out to DH for hogging all the bandwidth. definitely worse than hogging all the duvet

OhYouBadBadKitten · 21/10/2014 20:23

On safari and very very sloooooooow.

coppertop · 21/10/2014 20:19

Very slow here too.

Windows-something and Chrome.

Do the Techs need to pedal faster?
