Typing extremely sloooow, only on this site.

Hi,

I’m on an iPad Air, posting on the regular site, not the app. When typing, the words take ages to appear on screen. I type a few words, sit back and watch the keyboard catch up and finally the words appear on screen. . It seems to be only this site that this happens on.

Any ideas of what I can do to sort it?

Hi all

We've nudged our tech team so hopefully we'll have an update for you soon. Flowers

Oh and mine inserts random words too! Auto suggest or something?!

Misty9 · 30/09/2018 10:26

Mine is the same - iPad mini2 with safari. All the time. No grammarly app, all other sites fine. The other really annoying aspect is it keeps capitalising the first few letters (probably due to the lag) so I look like I'm shouting half the time! I just use my phone instead but it's annoying.

It’s taking about 5 minutes to type a ruddy sentence!

Type. Wait for words to appear on screen. Notice autocorrect has made some interesting errors cause drowsiness by the typing del twice. That meant to read hit delete twice but I hit delete incense and it took out half my sentence. No idea where the word drowsiness came from I did not type that. Nor did I type incense. I typed ‘once’ .

Aaarrrggghhh.

Just trying to get across to you what this is actually like. All the time..

Forget the 8-9am thing, it’s as bad as ever right now!

Yep definitely Worse when a video ad is playing

Thanks a lot CurlsandCurves - that's helpful.

Any advance on 8-9am and video ads folks?

Becca19962014 · 16/09/2018 19:20

I have this.

In my case I know its because of the automatic playing ads on the site taking up memory. I get it on others where ads automatically play as well.

MrsGrindah · 14/09/2018 20:30

It’s happening again! I think it’s when there are video adverts on the site

PhilomenaButterfly · 13/09/2018 13:42

It's happened to me before, on a Samsung Galaxy 6 on Chrome.

I'm not having this issue but for those who are - it might be useful to try checking the memory usage of your browser when it's happening. I only know how to do this on Chrome on a desktop - you go to the three dots menu, more tools, and then task manager. Whether it's similar on other browsers/devices, I don't know.

Hi there @CurlsandCurves,

Thanks for letting us know. Are there any trends you've noticed as to when this does and doesn't happen?

Just typing a post to see how it is for me. Still playing up. Ok sometimes then back to its usual tricks.

Hi there @ShirleyPhallus and @SoupDragon,

Thanks for letting us know - we won't take it off the list in that case. Wink

SoupDragon · 11/09/2018 09:51

I’ve been having issues where Safari freezes if I try to go back and edit a post. It’s still doing it today. This is also only on MN.

ShirleyPhallus · 11/09/2018 09:49

This has happened to me too but seems to be ok today

I thought it was to do with the ads loading?

Hi there @MrsGrindah,

Good to hear, do let us know if anything changes.

MrsGrindah · 10/09/2018 20:43

Seems to be working fine now!

LilyMumsnet · 10/09/2018 18:26

We're still waiting to hear back from tech on this one. Sorry! We've given it another nudge - hope to have an update for you all soon. Flowers

MrsGrindah · 08/09/2018 17:51

Any further update? It’s driving me up the wall and it took ages to type this

AnyaMumsnet · 02/09/2018 14:48

Hi there everyone,

We've just flagged this to our tech team again, to find out what might be causing it

ginghamstarfish · 01/09/2018 09:51

Forgot to say no Grammarly here!

ginghamstarfish · 01/09/2018 09:50

I often find MN unusable on my tablet - painfully slow and laggy. It seems to be because of the ads.
