SLOW! It's so fucking slow now, I can't even get long threads to load any more

[TheNiffler]

Let alone post on them.

It's beyond a joke now, vast swathes of MN are now totally inaccessible to me. Can we PLEASE sort this out?

Still not working for me either. I'm getting the same issue a lot of other posters have mentioned- blank screens when you click on a thread and the whole thing freezing and unresponsive so I can't scroll up or down. It's been doing this all week- thought it was my phone at first until I realised all other sites were fine apart from mumsnet. It's rendering the mobile site pretty much unusable and has been that way for a week or so now.

It's definitely the ads as my iPad is fine with ad blocker.

I didn't put it on my phone to see what happened and still the same problems on iPhone. So now have ad blocker on it too and it's fine now.

Been struggling too for ages, installed ad blocker yesterday and fine since.

Mines terrible on my iPhone as well.

Ad blocker now installed on iPad and all fine.

Ironically, this is the first thread that's loaded with no problems for me in about a week. Otherwise, same issues as everyone else is reporting. Makes the site unusable. And for the techies to be saying oh reduce your post count - well, yes, but there's clearly a problem beyond that, and as your interface is so bloody antiquated that half the posts on a big fast moving thread are just placemarking, that's not a sustainable or sensible response.

Another one deliberately searching out site stuff to see if anyone else is suffering like I have recently.
It keeps sticking on both my i pad and Mac. Can't load threads and is terribly slow when they do.
I've also had to log in several times when I've been thrown out.

Have totally given up on iPhone - trying to install an Ad Blocker but I have to get the latest update now - what could possibly go wrong? * cries.

Still works fine on Chrome on my MacBook, which has an Ad Blocker installed.

It was being much better on my iPhone this morning, then I went to page 3 of a thread I was reading, and it froze again. Normally the ad doesn't load or can't be seen but this time it was a Giffgaff £18 per month ad. Went to take a screenshot and the screen went white and I had to close the window.

Except I've just now seen the same giffgaff ad and it loaded fine

Lots of blank adverts at the moment.

After crashing on my iphone, it now just crashed on my ipad. It's much better than it was last night though when it was crashing every other time I clicked a link.

I think it's worked

Funnily enough this thread just crashed after you posted that, puppy!

I have suspected it's me who's broken everything all along giraffe

Still unusable on my ipad (desktop, safari)

Getting VERY tedious now.

Also very slow loading on my laptop (desktop, chrome) but it is eventually loading.

STILL unusable on my iPad (Safari).

Have given up MNetting on my iPad now. However, I do have adblocker on my laptop, installed by work. So is it worth installing it on the iPad?

STILL problematic on iPhone.

TheOnly - my issues were resolved completely by installing AdBlock Plus on my iPad. It's a free app. It's also worked on my iPhone.

So I'd say definitely worth installing.

Thank you!

Installed the first ad blocker that came up in the App Store for my iPhone and finally I can read mn again!

Previously was getting blank screens and mn locking up halfway through a thread.

(P.s if we all block the ads to be able to use the website what's the point in them being there? No one will see them?)

Which ad blocker are people loading on iPad? Mine is a few years old and all the ones I've tried are incompatible. Having said that I did just install iOS 10.2.1 and I'm accessing the site on my iPad for the first time for a week, so fingers crossed it's fixed.

I have just put adblock plus on literally 5 mins ago. That is what a previous poster recommended

Does anyone find it messes up the whole of Safari?

I can be on other sites fine. Come on here and it doesn't work most of the time and then all my other site are slow and messed up.

I refuse to download something to make this site work, I shouldn't have to. (I don't use any of the ads on here anyway, I don't even look at them anymore, so they won't be getting any money out of me.

I spoke too soon. It's still sticking and loading half a thread.

Totally agree it should not be necessary to download anything to make the site work.

iPad, Safari. Loading half a page, sometimes even just half an op, and then freezing. Even when the page loads I'm unable to click on anything.
