Pages taking an age to load - anyone else?

[PunishmentRoundupWithJoon]

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.

Slooooooow tonight.

Uh oh

Similar problem here, and its also causing my browser to crash

Did get the warning page about DDOS, but that's only in last 30 mins. The slowness and crashing has been going on for 2-3 days.

It's becoming unusable, because I'm utterly fed up with losing my other tabs (with sites thar are normal speed and glitch-free) every time MN causes yet another crash

Me too it says error / host error
Glad it's not just me

I just had that too. I've had the Cloudflare error too, in the main.

I think Blu-tac is a generous description, @Merryoldgoat!

Me too (iMac, Safari).

I just got "checking your browser before accessing mumsnet"

Same here - 404 error, I think, method not allowed. It's driven me off Mumsnet now tonight.

Maybe it's the Torybot gremlins getting revenge on Justine and Mumsnet...

I’m getting this as well when trying to post, I also had a message asking me to make contact so they could solve the problem……very weird

It’s either DDos or they haven’t put enough 50 pences into Cloudflare

Laptop/Microsoft Edge.

My money’s on DDos but then I am a paranoid android ;)

I’ve just experienced the same error page, and slow loading of pages that then become glitchy.

I thought it might be due to a sudden overload of users, as a certain Royal/Non-Royal has just shared baby pictures of the Queen’s namesake.

The app stopped working for a while

And other, much smaller, forums that I use have been experiencing posting issues for the past day or so. I think something unpleasant is afoot.

The app is down, and I got the checking browser message too

Desktop seems better now.

Mines been like it for over a week. Can't post on long threads either, when I press post the page refreshes and my post disappears. I thought it was my ancient phone at first so I bought a new one but it wasnt

That's interesting - my browser has been crashing regularly for the last few days, but I assumed it was because I had just installed AVG Anti-Track, which I've since removed (and requested the refund because within 30 days) - I thought it was because I have an old laptop, still running Windows 7 Pro (I know! ) and maybe it couldn't cope - but if it's MN, then that's even more annoying!
(Probably still was the AVG Anti-Track messing things up too, to be fair - I've had that problem with some of AVG's other add-ons before)

The old platform rarely caused this level of pain to use. :(

Very interesting to see who people leaping to blame!

Same here, on laptop last night and on phone this morning.

Same here it's been slower adlnd slower over the past few days but last night and this morning it's constantly crashing and taking almost 5 minutes to load a page.

I'm sure MNHQ will be along any minute to say they are looking into it which will inevitably mean it sits on the never ending pile of things they're looking at but which never get fixed.

Happening to me too.

Same for me on MacBook Air. And increasingly reaching error messages.

Happening to me too. Really, really slow, then sometimes getting an "error 504" come up.
Making using this site almost impossible.
