mumsnet keeps freezing

It's still happening tnis morning. It's really slow, then stops completly and freezes.
As pointed out, this is only on MN, so no matter how many times we clear this, that or the other, it still happens!!

Yes but to be fair my phone has been rubbish since the IOS 26 updates. I do each one thinking will improve but no still rubbish.

Is anyone else experiencing when you click to go onto the next page of a thread it reloads & you go back onto the page you’ve already read or if you click onto a thread in trending it also reloads sends you back to the thread you had finished reading what more fresh hell is this.

There is a thread running in site stuff which was stated in November 2025 and the issues have been going on long before then, all we get is the occasional message of them “running tests” honestly it’s beyond ridiculous now you would think they are having to figure out quantum physics rather than get their website to run properly.

I experience this when the adverts change, particularly the adverts that take over half your screen and cover half of the thread.

This happens on my laptop and my phone - logged in on laptop, not logged in on phone. Both different browsers.

It's been spectacularly bad the past couple of days.

I get it on my iPhone running Chrome. I thought it was my phone! It doesn't happen with other sites.

It’s almost got to the point where I’m about to give up. It’s worse on my phone than my iPad but it’s not great on that either. Worse since IOS update on my phone.

I use chrome --- it has been freezing for me for the past few days

It’s the excessive adverts. Too much running on one page. So many complaints but obviously the money is more important than user experience.

This has been an issue for me when I used safari as it started to slow down the browser even when I was on other sites and crash safari. It initially improved when I cleared cookies but after awhile I was clearing cookies after almost every use. I switched to chrome and it generally much better but does slow down ever now and again.

I’m having the same issue when I use safari.

I am also getting the huge ad covering the post button.

it’s genuinely making the site unusable. And has reduced the amount of time I spend here.

It's fine for me on Safari on iMac but terrible on iPad, I'm away soon so I guess not much MNing for me then. I might try the Google app on iPad because the whole of Safari stalls and I have to keep closing it.

im accessing through chrome now which seems to have solved it

I had this on Safari for a long time so a couple
of years ago I moved on to the Google app. Now the Google app is freezing on me, but Safari is working again.

Another thread from November 25 which many have reported the issues with the freezing reloading ghost typing etc so doesn’t appear as the “Testing” is going well the constant reloading/freezing unresponsive threads has been particularly bad again in the last few days, does also seem to affect those of us using iPads /safari more it’s infuriating also MN drains my battery & makes my device very hot which doesn’t happen with any other site wouldn’t put any money on MN resolving the issues though.

Just happened now.

Keeps happening to me, too, on Firefox desktop, but it's been like that for months, so I use Duckduckgo for MN only, which I find quite annoying but less annoying than the constant Firefox messages that MN is slowing the browser down!

Awful since the last ios update - takes ages to load if it does - scroll down to half the OP then a blank page

worked out it’s the ads - if you wait for over a minute or refresh and the headline ad appears it then works.

shame the adds take precedent over user experience!
