Why is MN so slow?

I'm not moaning - honest!

But Mumsnet s very slow - all the time. There's definitely nothing wrong with my internet, I have 200MB download and all other sites are fine.

I just wonder why this is? Are you throttled?

Hi everyone. We appreciate how incredibly frustrating this must be for you. We can absolutely promise that the tech team are working hard to resolve the site speed issue and we will come back and let you know as soon as we have any more info.

Thanks again for flagging concerns about the security of the site. We've asked for this to be looked at and can assure you that your log in details and passwords are secure.

I am just about to give up on using the site. On a notebook and using Chrome - multiple attempts needed to access the site and go from thread to thread. Often freezes when I comment and I have to go through it all again (or give up). Will see what happens with this comment.

If the login is secure - why are our browsers saying it isn't?
It isn't https when you enter and send your login details ...it really isn't.
If tech think it is secure - is there some fake mirror site thing going on?
I (and others) are definitely seeing this...

If the login is secure - why are our browsers saying it isn't?

Because while the specific login process is secure, the rest of the page isn't. That is a pretty unprofessional way to.do things though and they should really make the whole page show as secure in all browsers to prevent concerns like this.

4 1/2 mins to upload a photo.
I am fast losing my patience.

DameDeDoubtance · 22/01/2017 16:53

bad gateway again and again, bloody awful.

CockacidalManiac · 22/01/2017 17:44

Really slow this afternoon again

unlucky83 · 22/01/2017 17:49

itsall Not even going to try and pretend I understand that but I am not convinced...
On Firefox - on some web pages I get the insecure message and it says it is partially insecure eg images are not secure -
On MN log in (from the top button) it says the whole page isn't secure -more info
technical details -Connection not encrypted. The website www.mumsnet.com does not support encryption for the page you are viewing - and that is the log in page!
(And then info not encrypted can be seen by others on the internet etc)

twinklefoot · 22/01/2017 17:54

Yes always been very slow.

Haribogirl · 22/01/2017 18:56

I've noticed last 3 days really really slow

Using iPad - chrome

If I go to next page it takes about 25 seconds. Normally 2 secs!!!
Really frustrating

MardyGrave · 22/01/2017 19:25

Frustratingly slow this evening.

Mumsnet I fear your tech team are under skilled/staffed for the scale of site. It really is the glitchiest website I know.

Ilikesweetpeas · 22/01/2017 19:47

Very slow for me too ove the last week, on phone, laptop and iPad

PidgeyfinderGeneral · 22/01/2017 19:49

Slow even on PC tonight. Unusable on devices.

I don't mean to be rude, MN, but what the actual fuck? Please can you tell us what is going on and what you're doing to investigate? Lots of us know about IT stuff so you can be honest. It would just be really helpful to not be fobbed off with 'ooh sorry, we're looking into it'.

piknmixer · 22/01/2017 19:59

I'm now getting gateway errors on longer threads, site speed is ridiculous.

I've taken up crochet Grin

farfarawayfromhome · 22/01/2017 20:02

I'm accessing through the app, on the other side of the world, in a country with notoriously shit internet. No speed issues at all!

Sorry to put a spammer on the woks...

farfarawayfromhome · 22/01/2017 20:02

In the works! No woks here...

OnionKnight · 23/01/2017 06:22

For a massive site such as mumsnet I'm really surprised at how long it takes them to resolve issues such as the speed and being redirected to dodgy websites etc.

Sort it out please.

Perfectlypurple · 23/01/2017 07:02

I couldn't even get on last night around 10 o'clock. I gave up.

SolomanDaisy · 23/01/2017 07:30

I've noticed this for the first time for the past few days. Very slow on both iPhone and kindle.

kaitlinktm · 23/01/2017 10:39

Grin Nice one!

LonelyImSoLonely · 23/01/2017 10:42

Slow for me on safari on iPhone and iPad. Slower than all other websites. Sometimes I give up.

CanadianJohn · 23/01/2017 14:44

Somewhat faster for me this morning!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 24/01/2017 20:30

I think it might be better?
