SLOW! It's so fucking slow now, I can't even get long threads to load any more

I'm using an old Ipad possibly 2nd generation with ios8 I think.

Whole site is really slow. When I click on a post I can see the op and whatever replies fit the screen but i cant scroll down as the site freezes then turns white . I can't even see any sidebars. If I try to leave the page nothing happens - the links no longer work and the little timer at top of page just twirls round

I'm old and tired.
I don't understand what Puffin iWork Adblock.

My phone screen I'm currently using is to small even with my new glasses. I just want to MN on my iPad but I can't.

DH just spoke to me - come on MN, I'd no reason not to answer.

Same for me. I thought it was my iPad.

Mini iPad using Safari and I've got exactly the same problem with pages half-loading. It's being doing it for a fair while and is seriously annoying.

Screen shot attached...a 9 post thread.

iPad
Safari

Exactly the same issues with refusing to load, having to close down and reboot safari repeatedly. Haven't worked out how to limit posts per page but I'm loath to do that as I hate having to click next page on threads.

Just taken me 25 fecking minutes to get to this page, iPad using safari (but did the same in google chrome app) been like this for a few days. Please sort it out!

Downloaded Adblock too and all seems ok now on safari!

Mine freezes really regularly too. Safari or Firefox on a Macbook pro (I try both, sometimes one works and the other doesn't, often neither does).

I'm not getting a different browser. Im not fucking about with that. I have an iPhone I use safari just like every other mum I know! iPhones / iPads are no longer cool they are the preserve of middle age mums, like Facebook mumsnet needs to be compatible with that or there's just no bloody point is there really.

Praise the lord thought it was just me

Seriously fucked off!

MN is unusable on my ipad currently (ipad mini, desktop site, safari).
Pages won't load....can't get any further than the active convos page half-loading, with bottom half white, and the individual threads on it are not clickable. Gave up last night. So frustrating.

It's ok-ish on my laptop (chrome, desktop site, adblock enabled)

I've downloaded AdBlock for my iPad and now I can load threads.

So it's definitely an ad problem.

Sort it out MN. I get that you need ads for financing but at least make sure they don't shag up your site!!

Just gone to the Google app on my iPad and seems to be working ok on that! (so far)

MN is completely inaccessible on my IPad (safari) I can't open any bloody thing.
Every other site is just fine.

Posting this on my phone. Please sort this out MN!

I've been getting that too offler for the last week or two on safari. Sometimes I click on a thread, it freezes, I reload it then the page just goes white and won't reload so have to close and go back onto mn. Annoying!

For me, it's definitely an ad problem. Since I put AdBlocker on my iPad this afternoon I've had no problems.

Just tried turning it off, and the delay/failure to load completely/unclickable links are back.
On again and it's ok, off and it's not...

Also having issues with Safari ☹️ A few posts load, then just hangs and only thing you can do is shut the tab. Have posts set to 50.

I've had severe problems for the last 2 days. On both my iPad and iPhone, using Safari on both. Like many others, a thread takes forever to load (and by that I mean it never actually fully loads no matter how long you wait), and only shows the first handful of posts. While the page is attempting to load, no links to other threads etc are clickable. I've effectively not been able to use MN at all, not even to browse.

In order to find this thread and post in it, I had to download the app.

No access via safari or Firefox on iPad tonight. Posting this via the app.

I'm having issues on my iPad 4 safari (and google browser)- the site becomes completely unresponsive at times and I'm unable to use touchscreen on any threads ( freezes on links) ! Also the site takes a long time to appear if at all at times.

There are also issues on my iPhone 6 too. Slow loading or just not being able to get onto the site.

All the issues are variable at times but really glitchy especially in this last week.

Gah, first time I've got on MN all afternoon.

Thank goodness, I thought it was my ancient iPad being difficult. It's been awful here for days and has taken me an hour nearly to get this thread to load to add a comment.

I'm not reading to the end of the thread because I'm expecting this to freeze any second. Grabbing the chance to post while I can.
MN keeps partially loading or freezing constantly. It's practically unusable now. It's been getting steadily worse for a couple of weeks. Makes no difference what threads I'm on.
Using an iPad and Safari or an iPhone. 25 threads shown.
For the last couple of days I've hardly been able to access MN at all and I'm beginning to lose the will to try.

Mine was working ok and had just started crashing again...
