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.

Yup, same again for me when I came on to the site just now.

Zampa · 13/06/2022 21:57

It's affected me around the same time tonight and last night. Assumed it was a DDOS attack last night but weird it was at 2125 both nights.

Sidge · 13/06/2022 21:55

Jeez it is beyond shit tonight.

Igotjelly · 13/06/2022 21:55

Happening again. I keep getting a message saying checking my browser…. Checking it for what exactly? 😑

MNHQ very quiet on all this nonsense.

SpindleSheWrote · 13/06/2022 21:54

Fuck's sake, this site's a shambles tonight. Again.

SpindleSheWrote · 13/06/2022 21:51

This is absolutely ridiculous now. So slow. Unusable again.

SoupDragon · 13/06/2022 21:38

And again...

SwankyPants · 13/06/2022 15:21

Still taking ages to load, and I can't navigate. I can still scroll the post but I can't go to active or watching. Just nothing happens and I have to close the page and open another. I'm really put off being here. It's just too much like hard work to do anything

And of course a lot of posters are now reluctant to report them, because of data protection concerns that still linger in parallel with the new platform having these huge technical and management issues.

This is true. I am usually a regular reporter, but I won’t do it since the recent data breach.

totally agree, the number of troll OPs is ridiculous.

SpindleSheWrote · 13/06/2022 07:33

Unusable - yes.

Gave up last night. Actually every problem mentioned above is something that I have experienced.

Along with the massive glitches, and what I presume is increased DDOS activity, is an increase in non-genuine and bad-faith OPs and other posters on the site.

NoiceToight · 13/06/2022 07:09

The site has become basically unusable for me, it just won't load. The app loads quicker, sometimes, but I don't like the app - it doesn't refresh very often.

Snoopsnoggysnog · 12/06/2022 23:49

Even that message took ages to type and post.
MNHQ you last commented on this on 8th June, what’s the update?

Snoopsnoggysnog · 12/06/2022 23:47

Awful. Same issues here, it’s almost unusable and I’ve been here 10 years.

RunningRainbow · 12/06/2022 23:37

Got a cloud flare/ddos message just now and everything is SO SLOW. Been shite every since the update a few weeks ago. Honestly, unusable in my phone and I've no other devices

Maverickess · 12/06/2022 23:34

Had problems this evening, pages taking ages, cloudfare message etc, suddenly seems to have sorted itself out - at least for now anyway!

Agapornis · 12/06/2022 23:33

Chrome, Android phone - it's been super slow to load for weeks, and it reallllly struggles with getting down to a bookmarked post. It's eating phone battery. It's especially bad when there are lots of posts - I've set it to display all posts on 1 page, so maybe that's the problem? Still, didn't have this issue before.

wwyd2021medicine · 12/06/2022 23:25

App not loading at all tonight

FlibbertyGiblets · 12/06/2022 23:24

Pretty darn slow tonight, yes.
Cloud flare and checking your browser type messages.

1fluffydoodle · 12/06/2022 23:23

App not working for me tonight

Plasmodesmata · 12/06/2022 23:22

Whatever is wrong with it is particularly bad this evening.

LastTrainEast · 12/06/2022 23:21

Firefox may work better (it did in one test).

In Chrome a mumsnet tab left idle seems to grow in size abruptly to use several gigabyte of ram

DinasCopUniform · 12/06/2022 23:21

I absolutely agree with pp. This site is honestly SO shitty, I genuinely don't know why I keep coming back. It's just excuse after excuse, nothing ever gets fixed. It's just not worth it anymore, I'd rather read a book.

ApplesinmyPocket · 12/06/2022 23:18

If I leave an MN tab open, it freezes my laptop. This has been going on at least a couple of weeks - I changed mice, restored my pc, tried other fixes before I figured out it was Mumsnet and nothing else that was causing it.

After being here about 15 years, I've finally broken the MN habit. Just log in a couple of times a day now and close tabs quickly.
