Speed issues - again?

[Puzzledandpissedoff]

Is it just me, or is the site taking ages to load, especially where there are more than about 200 posts?
I'm constantly getting the "Wait or delete page" notifications or just "Reload page" and it's become well nigh impossible to add anything to busy threads

Hello @Puzzledandpissedoff can we ask you to check your internet speed, please? If you Google 'internet speed test' it should be the first thing you see. We're just trying to rule out possible causes. Thank you.

Many thanks, @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet - I'm hopeless with these things so glad you mentioned how to access this!!

I did it and it says: 67.3 Mbps download ... 20.0 Mbps upload ... "Your internet speed is very fast" if this helps?

I'm not sure if mine is the same issue, but I'm here because I'm finding it virtually impossible to post. Literally every character I type in the message box, there is a measurable pause before it appears on screen. I am getting extra or missing characters in every word I type because of the delay, typing feels like wading through glue.

(Ironically I'm having no problem typing this. It has happened on two separate thread in AIBU in the last few minutes though, and was happening in one of those last night. I have restarted my browser with no effect. My internet is the same speed as OPs, a bit faster actually, and I'm using fully up to date Chrome and Windows 11.)

It feels like there is something on those threads, a rogue advert perhaps, that is sucking up all the CPU, leaving not enough left to even handle putting characters into a text box.

I have resorted to writing posts in my email app editor, and cutting and pasting them into the text box, because it's so impossible to type here. Even then, the paragraph separations get lost during pasting, and it takes me forever to edit them back in.

I said on the thread about the new save post option that typing is so slow. As is loading, or bookmarking. I'd assumed it was whatever update that added all the new buttons at the bottom of each post.

In fairness it seems a bit better today.

Ditto, Getoff - though as June said it does seem to vary day by day, and especially with the number of posts already on a thread

Point is, no other site behaves like this for me and I'd love to know why this one does and if anything can be done about it

Takes a while to load here too.
My speed is ''very fast'' 92.7mbps,not usually much slower than that.

Afternoon, everyone. We're still working on this issue but in the meantime, if you could reset your 'posts per page' to 100 or fewer that will help it run more smoothly. Lots of users are having this issue when posts are set to 'view 1000 per page.'
