Pages taking an age to load - anyone else?

Is anyone else finding that some pages are taking an age to load? And a message keeps appearing, something like "page taking ages, do you want to wait?"

It's only happening with mumsnet, no other sites.

Yup. Thought it was my tablet, but it's still happening with a new one!
I have changed my settings so there are less pages per page, but it's still not great.

PunishmentRoundupWithJoon · 05/06/2022 12:44

I tried on a different device too, but same problem. Rather frustrating!

Yes, I gave up trying to load long threads last night.

Same here, Edge, Windows 10, PC.

The message about Wait or Exit is from the browser, as I've had it do it with The Guardian before now.

Taking a long time to load, but when it's loaded, it's still pretty "sticky" - as in scrolling takes ages, clicking through to posts, threads etc. takes ages - the only thing that doesn't is typing!
Very frustrating.

Pages taking so very long to load, error messages, username disappearing from the box with a message to create a new one - all making Mumsnet almost unusable just now tonight.

Pages taking so very long to load, host error 504 messages, username disappearing from the box with a message to create a new one - all making Mumsnet almost unusable just now tonight.

StillWeRise · 06/06/2022 22:52

yes me too

WaitroseWoman · 06/06/2022 22:54

Excuse the duplicate - it said it hadn't posted. See what I mean?!

Anyone else?

Whatwouldscullydo · 06/06/2022 22:56

Oh god yes I keep getting error 404/bad gateway message.

Its taking forever to load anything.

Note 10+ on Internet explorer.

Also tried loading on duck duck go and its no quicker

RoofFlower · 06/06/2022 22:56

Yes takes absolutely ages to load. Seems worse since the new format was introduced and pages randomly refresh on their own as well.
very frustrating

Raera · 06/06/2022 22:56

Me too. Ages

Merryoldgoat · 06/06/2022 22:56

I feel like this site is held to gather with Blu Tac sometimes.

OhWhatAShame · 06/06/2022 22:56

Yes same here. A couple of threads I clicked on that interested me, I just gave up on in the end, it took so long!

Kleptronic · 06/06/2022 22:58

Yeah me too. The app won’t load at all, mobile browser very slow.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 06/06/2022 23:01

Yep me too

ChairOfInvisibleStudies · 06/06/2022 23:01

Yes, painfully slow, especially longer threads though to be honest even this one loaded pretty slowly.

rainbowruthie · 06/06/2022 23:02

Yep, about to give up

Kleptronic · 06/06/2022 23:02

I wonder if it’s a DDOS attack

FAQs · 06/06/2022 23:04

I’m getting a security warning, before the pages load.

Arnaquer · 06/06/2022 23:05

Ah I thought it was my shit WI-FI. Worse in the app than desk top

MrsAukerman · 06/06/2022 23:05

I've just come onto MN tonight and had a weird message. Will attempt to post screenshot

Ihatethenewlook · 06/06/2022 23:06

I’m getting a security warning and then a page saying my browser is being checked

ZebraScarf · 06/06/2022 23:07

Yes, I just had a message come up about DDOS - checking method I'm using or something like that.

Then it just said "The server returned a 405 method not allowed. Please let us now what you were doing when this occurred."

Erm, just waiting for MN to load. 🙁
