Anyone else getting a recurrence of the constant freezing, crashing, pages not loading that was happening a while back?

It’s really bad. I have to keep shutting down and restarting my IPad.

Hi Lily
50 per page. Clearing browsing data doesn’t seem to have helped

Yes, I’ll revise this to say that I cleared browsing data yesterday and performance does seem a bit better. I’ll report back if it deteriorates again

Same as others. Clear cache, works for a short time.

ScrambledSmegs · 11/06/2025 08:51
  • All posts on a page.
  • I clear the cache regularly, maybe evety 2-3 days. It helps for a little while but reverts more and more quickly. No other websites that I visit cause this problem.

Oh yes. It’s been bad for weeks, freezes ipad, drains battery, I cannot navigate back to google after Mumsnet, have to quit the page by swiping up, then reloading Safari. Fed up with it!

Bad signal

I cleared my browsing history and that seems to have helped.

Same, safari on iphone. Just in the last couple of days. One long advertisement of grey blankness stops me seeing the rest of the thread. I’m surprised I could comment on this.
It stops me coming on the site as it’s so frustrating.

Fannyy · 09/06/2025 18:29

I can see the first post the first reply then an advert that just stops anything loading. I just looked to see what advert it was and it was the laundry offers one

Clearing history always works for me on the iPad as a short term fix but I find it's a PITA because it clears data I don't want to dump and more importantly it doesn't seem to fix the problem for a significant length of time..

With my set up I find if I clear history on day 1 by day 2 I can start to see the iPad struggling on MN again..

Mumsnet is the only forum I've been on where this happens.

You’re right, it’s started glitching and randomly reloading again!

Lots of issues here too. Currently on desktop but is happening on Samsung tablet and phone too.
Freezing, not scrolling correctly, open the active tab, click on a topic, read it, use the back button to go back to active to find a list of topics from weeks or days ago. Have to go out of site and back in again to get up to date active page back,
Bonus - spending less time on here.

This is exactly what was happening with me but somehow it has sorted itself out only to be replaced by not updating threads.

I spend a lot of time looking at screens like this

@EllieQ

.. it’s been going on for months.

It has indeed, it's been reported for months.

AFAIK and in my experience this is a MN only issure...but despite the reports it seems MN HQ ther hasn't got enough resources or the willingness to find a fix...

EllieQ · 09/06/2025 11:42

Yes, it’s been going on for months. It had improved a bit, but got worse again over the past few weeks.

I use Mumsnet on my phone (Safari on iPhone) - it’s very slow to load, if it does load it then freezes after you’ve scrolled down past the first advert, and usually jumps and then reloads with the message ‘This webpage was reloaded due to an error’ or something like that.

It works on Safari on my iPad, but occasionally the webpage will reload with the same message. There’s also a weird thing where I can scroll down the first few pages normally, then there’s an advert, and the posts don’t load again after the advert, so you scroll and scroll and it’s just blank. Sometimes if you scroll back up to the top then back down the advert again, you can scroll past it normally. Other times the web page reloads itself.

It definitely seems worse when it’s a video advert compared to an image.

All very frustrating.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 09/06/2025 11:38

The freezing is soooo annoying. The thread loads and you think everything is going to be ok and then you try to scroll and NOPE…

HouseHouseHouse7 · 09/06/2025 11:38

MolluscMonday · 09/06/2025 08:10

Yep. Iphone on Safari. Phone getting hot, battery tanking, pages blank and/or reloading. It’s all the ads.

Exactly this. Hopefully it can be sorted soon. Lots of good content to read on here.

101dalmatians · 09/06/2025 11:35

Thought this was just me! Threads not loading, freezing when they do load. Also finding my phone is getting very hot when trying to use mumsnet (not happening with anything else). Using an iPhone.

NanTheWiser · 09/06/2025 11:32

Agree with everyone else. This is simply getting ridiculous now. Please MNHQ do try to fix it!

sparrowflewdown · 09/06/2025 11:18

I am having the same problems on Samsung phone and drains the battery too. I regularly clear my history so that isn't the issue.

AnnaBalfour · 09/06/2025 10:41

Yes

Sorry I'm old.
What does "clearing your history" mean

You need a proper techie for a proper answer, but in the meantime..

Beneath the surface your device/browser quietly store lots of info to help speed up your internet experience,.not just passwords but other stuff beside...

You can usually get into the settings for your browser (methods vary) and delete all the stuff that's hidden away.

Sometimes worth doing if you suspect something has been stored on your device that is causing you to lose performance.
