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?

Slow for me too!!all week has been dreadful.

PurpleDaisies · 19/01/2017 23:42

It's still frustratingly slow in iPhone 5 and safari.

FannyWisdom · 19/01/2017 23:41

Exactly same here Giraffe

JaniceBattersby · 19/01/2017 23:37

Very, very slow on phone, laptop and iPad for me...

GiraffesAndButterflies · 19/01/2017 23:10

Even to click on this... I clicked once, it wasn't even half loaded in 30secs. I clicked again, and it loaded fully in under 5?

This is from quite a way upthread but I'm doing the same thing. All the damn time. It's so bloody slow. It is making me get fed up and go do something productive more often though, so cheers for that.

Awful reponse times, IPad, Safari full site. Going off to read a book!

LineysRun · 19/01/2017 22:56

I reported this thread earlier tonight - as in, the posters on here are RIGHT - and asked for any news.

PyongyangKipperbang · 19/01/2017 22:53

Oh the irony.....

504 Gateway Time-out
The server didn't respond in time.

got that trying to load this thread! Had to reboot MN to get on here.

quencher · 19/01/2017 22:48

Yes mine takes a while to appear too. It's an app on the iPad and iPhone.

You have to wait for it to load up. Never even thought of complaining because i put down to being Mn and how it works.

I doubt it ever loads up quickly.

tribpot · 19/01/2017 22:36

Very slow here, some 504s this evening. Dreadful.

SealSong · 19/01/2017 22:30

SLOWWWWWWW.......................

MegBusset · 19/01/2017 21:39

Still awful. One or two threads will load but most won't :(

rslsys · 19/01/2017 21:38

Been grim at home on the laptop for some time.
Now away and using iPad on a connection that is 10x faster than home connection and its dire.

bloodymaria · 19/01/2017 21:34

Slow here too, it's been poor for the last week or so but especially bad tonight.

Perfectlypurple · 19/01/2017 21:28

Have stayed off here all evening due to how slow it is and it still isn't any better. Maybe less intrusive ads would help. It takes so long to load the active page because of the ads so you think you click on a thread only to find it is loading so slow that it has registered as clicking on the ad. Perhaps that is the reason this isn't being sorted. More clicks on the ads.

BubbleWrapQueen · 19/01/2017 21:10

So slow it's painful.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/01/2017 21:01

and in trying to post that

Why is MN so slow?
OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/01/2017 20:59

it's daft this.

Why is MN so slow?
KitKat1985 · 19/01/2017 20:43

Really slow here too......

uncoolnn · 19/01/2017 20:39

Painfully slow on Safari on iPhone!

Stormwhale · 19/01/2017 20:38

Massively slow here. On Samsung phone using the mobile site on chrome. It's doing my head in.

BertieBotts · 19/01/2017 20:37

BA the icons changing to random symbols sometimes happens when the page is slow to load, it's something to do with them being based on wingdings.

DameDeDoubtance · 19/01/2017 20:35

Another one running slow, and I have an ad blocker on. I click a page, then go to another site and come back when it's loaded up later. The site is becoming unusable though.

LineysRun · 19/01/2017 20:28

You need to get that device charged up, BA. Grin

FlopIsMyParentingGuru · 19/01/2017 20:26

Oh my goodness it's so painfully slow and half the time fails to load. The cost benefit balance of trying to read a thread is starting to tip ever closer to not being worth the effort.
