Why is MN so slow?

I'm not moaning - honest!

But Mumsnet s very slow - all the time. There's definitely nothing wrong with my internet, I have 200MB download and all other sites are fine.

I just wonder why this is? Are you throttled?

It's bloody slow again.

I'm not really on here much anymore. I might have to open a Twitter account or something.

BestIsWest · 19/01/2017 20:17

Still awful

PseudoBadger · 19/01/2017 20:06

BA that just happens sometimes, nothing to worry about IMO

BAFlightFury · 19/01/2017 19:35

I can't see if anyone else has had or posted this as I cant get to other pages in this thread.

BAFlightFury · 19/01/2017 19:32

I'm getting veeeery slow connection, but had this too. Am I right to be concerned that something else is going on with the site?? The icons at the bottom aren't right and the font is different. But just few seconds later, back to its (slow) new normal. Hmm

MN is always slow for me, but the past couple of days it's been slower than ever. Win 7, Chrome, running AdBlock.

HungryHorace · 19/01/2017 19:21

It's utterly, shockingly dire tonight. It took me 3 attempts to even load this thread. I'm trying to think about how else I can fill my evening as I can't cope with the shite loading speed all night!

PatMullins · 19/01/2017 19:15

It's worse tonight!

jcne · 19/01/2017 19:15

the app is fine though

jcne · 19/01/2017 19:15

I have found this too! safari on a mac.

Doolallylally · 19/01/2017 19:14

It's sooooooooooooooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

PseudoBadger · 19/01/2017 19:13

The adverts never have any trouble loading....

PseudoBadger · 19/01/2017 19:12

This is my MN experience Angry

Even with ad and tracker blockers the site is still intermittently (though more often than not) slow.

As an aside, I'd love to know why MN has so many trackers. Not a single site I've visited in the year or so since I installed a blocker has come close to the amount MN has.

SuperDandy · 19/01/2017 18:28

And I loathe the way the page jumps after the ads load at the top so that you click on the wrong thing, which then takes aaaaages to load and then go back and try again and the same thing happens and aaaargh!

SuperDandy · 19/01/2017 18:27

It's been awful this week. Safari on iPad. Takes multiple tries to turn the page or open a thread. I'm losing the will and the patience.

665TheNeighbourOfTheBeast · 19/01/2017 17:57

Cant believe how long some of this is taking to load
even with adblockers

you have something going on and its getting worse.

piknmixer · 19/01/2017 17:28

Massively ow here today worse on desktop (chrome)

Hi all,

Thanks for letting us know. We're so sorry that the site is still running slow for you.

Just to reassure you, we are on the case. We know it's incredibly frustrating but we will get this sorted ASAP.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 19/01/2017 17:10

Still slow
And no response from mnhq

unlucky83 · 19/01/2017 14:31

I was going to say like Autumn -back to normal - but now it is really slow again...not as slow as yesterday but still painful.
Other websites - fine.

And I do have 'fast' broadband .... just run a test - ping 22s, download speed 50.02 Mbps, upload 9.42Mbps
I can stream HD video with (practically) no buffering - but it takes 30s+ to load a page on text based forum...something is not quite right there...
And I have just had three attempts to post this...by the time I manage it will be more...

ProfYaffle · 19/01/2017 14:12

Still frustratingly slow.

FlaviaAlbia · 19/01/2017 13:57

Really really slow today for me too.
