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?

This site has been ridiculously slow for a couple of weeks, almost unusable at times. I was also re-directed to a porn site on one occasion, which was nice. Safari / chrome on iPad. All other sites fine, Broadband fine.

I find it odd that MNHQ don't seem remotely interested in the fact that hundreds of users have flagged these issues up.

I tried on my laptop the other day and it wasn't https, and I was getting warnings from my computer. Also, I thought the screen looked weird.

Are we sure this is really Mumsnet seeing as no one has been on from HQ to explain what's going on? HmmWink

MN is currently taking 20+ seconds to load for me (on 300 Mbps broadband!).

MsJamieFraser · 17/01/2017 22:39

Nothing just another side pop up saying it's in secure

MsJamieFraser What does it tell you if you click on the "details" link?

LovelyBaubles · 17/01/2017 22:35

Annoyingly slow tonight and last night

Me too. Samsung Galaxy tablet & phone (both on Chrome browser), & a laptop on Windows Edge. Horribly slow. Pretty much all the probkems as stated by PPs. Frustrating.

PidgeyfinderGeneral · 17/01/2017 22:31

Very slow for me in the last two days using iPad, but on the PC where I have ad blocker it's fine.

whyohwhy000 · 17/01/2017 22:30

Still slow for me on Google Chrome on Windows 10.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 17/01/2017 22:28

Yup, I double checked, login is secure for me.

What does it tell you if you click on the "i" at the left of your address bar?

FadedRed · 17/01/2017 22:28

Same here (Safari on iPad). Getting worse over past week and dismal tonight.
Also just have pornography site when I asked for 'I'm watching', so going to switch off now.

MsJamieFraser · 17/01/2017 22:26

No, your either HTTPS secure or not, padlock should show. Its how you know you are on a secure site.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 17/01/2017 22:25

Actually I take that back - my login page (on the mobile site) shows as properly secure on my browser Confused

FiveShelties · 17/01/2017 22:24

Today is the worst it has been for me, some pages are just not loading at all and being timed out. I used to use my Kindle Fire but gave up with that as it got slower, slower and then stopped.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 17/01/2017 22:24

I think the login page is HTTPS, but contains insecure elements (shitty adverts) hence why you don't get a padlock.

WicksEnd · 17/01/2017 22:22

The log in page doesn't appear to be secure. No padlock?
I'm posting from the app now.

So no further update from MNHQ? And they haven't updated on the porn pop-ups thread either. What's going on, MN???

ProlificLurker · 17/01/2017 22:17

I had decided not to bother commenting and clicked to look on other threads in site stuff, but it was again laggy and kept reloading. So I've come back to say yes it's still tediously slow and unresponsive for me too.

Safari on iPad, fwiw.

Makes interesting reading. Looks like the website itself is really slow, but there is a lot of random shit going on with the adverts too.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 17/01/2017 22:10

unlucky Only the login page is HTTPS, the rest of the site is just http.

CockacidalManiac · 17/01/2017 22:05

I think it's the Russians. I won't be surprised when we get an "explanation" from SvetlanaMumsnet(MNHQ)
