Pages taking an age to load - anyone else?

240 replies

PunishmentRoundupWithJoon · 05/06/2022 12:30

Is anyone else finding that some pages are taking an age to load? And a message keeps appearing, something like "page taking ages, do you want to wait?"

It's only happening with mumsnet, no other sites.

I've switched from 'show all posts' to 'show max 100 posts' and things have improved in loading (no more freezing), but it's still overheating my phone!

We're going to try and catch the issue but is anybody able to record an example and email it to us on [email protected]?

SoupDragon · 16/06/2022 11:15

It's everything - short threads, long threads, active conversations, threads i'm on...

LilyMumsnet · 16/06/2022 10:51

Longer threads or shorter threads or a general mixture?
Thanks for replying.

We're just going to gather everything we can and then do some testing.

Does ios14.6 mean you're up to date?

I think ios14.6 is not quite up to date. I have an update to 15.5 pending but I think 16 is due soon anyway.

Seems to be after 8.30 / 9pm through then until after midnight.

All threads, when it is doing it.

I'm on a laptop, if that helps.
(Is fine now)

Last night included?

It happens on any threads for me. Nothing specific.

the site seems fairly sluggish at the moment for me. Not as bad as in the evenings by a long way but off its best.

I'm on an iPad (Safari, ios14.6). It seems worse in the evenings for me - really slow from 8pm last night but no error messages that time.

error messages for me are usually the "checking your browser" one or the "cloud flare" one that is really common. I thought I had a Screenshot but I don't.

Also can we have some examples of threads you're on when this happens? We will try and replicate!

Hi all

We originally thought that this was related to the server issues, but if it's still happening then that likely isn't the case.

Really sorry about this -we are keen to get to the bottom of it. Can you make sure to provide us with device/browser details and let us know if you get any error messages? In your experience, what time of day/night does this appear to be happening?

JaneJeffer · 15/06/2022 14:42

Desktop site is so slow. Had to go on to search for a thread because the app couldn't find it. Took me about five minutes to type a one sentence post!

SoupDragon · 15/06/2022 07:57

MNHQ haven't commented on this thread since 8th June

MinkyTunes · 15/06/2022 06:05

Copied from the other Site stuff thread:

Mumsnet seems unusably slow overnight, and quite frequently during the day.

I've tried both my laptop and my phone (chromebook and Andoid) and it takes ages for pages to load. It also hangs my chromebook quite often so I need to reboot, and posting messages where you need to copy across from another tab (ie the Wordle thread which is very long) also hangs everything. It isn't an issue with the devices, as I have no problems with any other site.

NoiceToight · 14/06/2022 21:58

I see nothing has improved since last week! Honestly, I give up!

Vapeyvapevape · 14/06/2022 19:19

Let's see if it's any better tonight

SilverDragonfly1 · 14/06/2022 14:38

If I have a couple of tabs open, click away from and then back to the mumsnet tab, it shows a blank screen that times out if refreshed.

Also scrolling threads over about 200 posts is impossible- it just refuses to respond.

StopDrivingIntoMyFence · 14/06/2022 12:51

I just got this error while right clicking this tab on Firefox and selecting "Reload Tab" Since when was refreshing a page not allowed?

Pages taking an age to load - anyone else?

“And typing is doing that weird thing again where it doesn't show the words at the same speed I'm typing, then it catches up all at once, & sometimes it randomly repeats part of a word so it just ends up with complete gibberish words mixed in. And I can't edit it because it's slow & buggy & if I press to delete a letter on one line the cursor is often on a different line & I end up deleting something I actually wanted to keep.“

I’ve found this too, also usually autocorrect doesn’t work. Plus if you want to use the MN emoji it takes ages to load. It’s ridiculous. @LilyMumsnet

CambsAlways · 14/06/2022 08:21

I had the same thing mrs Auker

Igotjelly · 14/06/2022 07:11

@MNHQ lost in action somewhere.

23.41 problems seemed to be solved

I can post quickly

i can click and read a thread easily

no gateway or server messages anymore

fingers crossed stays like this

Doubtful, it's like at times the servers get real busy and the site slows, then other times it's quite quick.

TooBigForMyBoots · 13/06/2022 23:40

I'm having issues @MNHQ!

sittingnexttochoppysea · 13/06/2022 23:40

I've had couple of hours of app not working again tonight. Getting a bit too regular. Apparently yesterday was a server issue. Sort it out MN.
