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?

4 1/2 mins to upload a photo.
I am fast losing my patience.

If the login is secure - why are our browsers saying it isn't?

Because while the specific login process is secure, the rest of the page isn't. That is a pretty unprofessional way to.do things though and they should really make the whole page show as secure in all browsers to prevent concerns like this.

If the login is secure - why are our browsers saying it isn't?
It isn't https when you enter and send your login details ...it really isn't.
If tech think it is secure - is there some fake mirror site thing going on?
I (and others) are definitely seeing this...

I am just about to give up on using the site. On a notebook and using Chrome - multiple attempts needed to access the site and go from thread to thread. Often freezes when I comment and I have to go through it all again (or give up). Will see what happens with this comment.

Hi everyone. We appreciate how incredibly frustrating this must be for you. We can absolutely promise that the tech team are working hard to resolve the site speed issue and we will come back and let you know as soon as we have any more info.

Thanks again for flagging concerns about the security of the site. We've asked for this to be looked at and can assure you that your log in details and passwords are secure.

I thought it was just me! On safari on iPad. Driving me nuts, have to select everything twice or it just hangs. Stopped using it on Friday night as it was just blank pages.

Berthatydfil · 22/01/2017 00:01

Running slow - almost at a standstill on iPad and iPhone on safari.
Had that gateway error thing as well plus a few times just a totally blank screen.

They can look at it all they like but are they fixing it?!

The random two word username solution worked fine for the first incarnation of Pottermore.

TheNiffler · 21/01/2017 22:18

It's OK "tech are looking at it

Kind of like they're looking into solving the 'user123457789' issue, despite being offered a completely doable solution a year or so ago? Has anyone ever said why the frankly genius two random word solution wouldn't work?

Just watched the documentary about stuxnet. Nobody Panic!!!!!

This is very silly.

ScarlettDarling · 21/01/2017 22:03

Very slow for me too. For days and days....

LauraMipsum · 21/01/2017 21:33

Keep getting the "gateway time out" message here too, on laptop and on mobile. And I have an ad blocker installed.

WellyMummy · 21/01/2017 21:20

Painfully slow here too, on Safari on iPad. Has been like this for ,out of the week if not longer.

TiggyD · 21/01/2017 21:18

Try to use words of 5 bits or less.

Fits down the cable better more good.

TheNiffler · 21/01/2017 21:00

Same for me, I'm afraid. On iPhone, using safari.

Ridiculously slow loading.
Ridiculously slow when I'm typing.
Getting 'cannot connect to server' errors, and 'Gateway timed out' errors.

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!

Oh lordy how many times has this ^^ happened to me and ended up on threads I wouldn't want to click Angry

Buglife · 21/01/2017 20:35

On mobile site from iPhone using my wifi and it's taking 1 minute + to get threads to load.

MarshaBrady · 21/01/2017 20:34

And even slower for a post to post

MarshaBrady · 21/01/2017 20:32

Unbelievably slow. Takes ages to load a thread

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 21/01/2017 20:31

Mine is painfully slow - I'm using the mobile site (not the app) on IPhone 7 Plus safari.

It's getting tedious

665TheNeighbourOfTheBeast · 21/01/2017 20:30

Also the mumsnet logo, top left, is fuzzy on part of site and crisp on others..only just noticed this bit of wierdness
And
Login page (I) is no longer registering as secure..are all these related?
