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.

Almost impossibly slow tonight. I'll be logging off once I've written this, it's just useless.

Still taking ages to load pages. It’s the worst it’s ever been.

MrsReeves · 11/06/2022 09:24

Absolutely awful. Posts not posting, pages slow to load, bookmarks not working... 🙄

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 11/06/2022 09:18

I haven't been on the site for 3 days because it's so frustrating - I see it's still no better. In fact, worse, because now typing is stuttering as well. (Laptop, Chrome)

AmaryIlis · 09/06/2022 16:28

Currently moving unbelievably slowly.

hugoagogo · 09/06/2022 08:51

It is bonkers how bad it is. If I was new to the site no doubt I wouldn't persevere. 12 years in, I am a trifle invested.

Hi all

We're aware of some issues with the site not performing - we're investigating and will have it fixed ASAP.

SolasAnla · 08/06/2022 10:29

Yes and i am also getting some kind of background verification check.

SwankyPants · 08/06/2022 10:27

Very slow and not able to bookmark posts.
Samsung and chrome

FfeminyddCymraeg · 07/06/2022 23:44

Glitches and scrolling just stops - can’t click on anything and have to close all my tabs/browsers

PickAChew · 07/06/2022 23:42

Glitches galore, tonight.

LadyEggs · 07/06/2022 22:56

Terribly slow again tonight. The app (on iPad) is unusable and the website also slow to load. I also got the server message last night and again tonight.

So sorry for all the inconvenience here.

Yes, I just had a message come up about DDOS - checking method I'm using or something like that.

Then it just said "The server returned a 405 method not allowed. Please let us now what you were doing when this occurred."

Erm, just waiting for MN to load. 🙁

I had this DDoS message too @LilyMumsnet ?

Hi all

We had an issue with our servers last night - we're still trying to pinpoint what happened exactly. Though we're quite sure that it wasn't anything untoward, so please don't worry.

It should all be resolved now but if you're still experiencing issues with the site, let us know and we'll get it resolved for you.

The error message when you've had a thread open for a bit, and then go to post - it tells you the page has expired and do you want to refresh? That's bloody irritating.
I've learnt to copy my post (Ctrl A, then Ctrl C for anyone still unfamiliar with laptop shortcuts) before refreshing the page so that I can then Ctrl V it back into the comment box and post it. So frustrating if I forget to do that though!! Especially if it's a long reply...

I've also had issues when I go back to a tab with a MN thread open from the day before or a few hours earlier. I get the Wait or Exit thing and in the end it's quicker to close that tab and start again. I am only getting it on MN, no other website. I'm also finding Ctrl Home doesn't always take me back to the top of the page, as it used to do. It's about 50% of the time now. None of this happened before the move to the new platform.

Android, elderly laptop but updates all done, Chrome browser.

Very concerned to hear from another user that there's been another data breach:

Any comment from MNHQ? DDoS late last night?

WaitroseWoman · 07/06/2022 11:19

It seemed ok for me again this morning, but have just had the timed out/host error message again when trying to post.

Clymene · 07/06/2022 08:07

Yep, really painfully slow this morning. 'Unable to send' message every time I try and post

Very tedious
