WTF is going on with the page loading?

Is anyone else having issues with MN talk pages loading? Honestly it’s like being a child with my parents’ dial up…. Only MN, no other website. I can’t work out if it’s loading the ads or just MN trying to force a subscription.

Used to go on in Malawi in 2009 and it was faster!

I might try that. I thought my phone needed updating.

It’s the ads plus trackers etc… I’ve changed browser, also to DuckDuckGo, and the difference is huge!

The site is ridiculously slow. It literally takes minutes for pages to load, and clicking on links either is non responsive or just takes forever. It’s just too painful and been going on for ages. On the up side, I’m reducing the time spent online!!

Has anyone tried clearing the cache in there browsers?

Yep. No difference.

Yes. But I changed from chrome to duck duck go and it improved. So I thought it was a me problem.

Yes, the same, but always at a similar time at night. Refusing to load or refresh at anything other than a snails pace after about 10pm.

I was in Malawi in 2007 and can confirm the same. I don’t know what’s going on but it’s been like this for months now. Most frustrating.
