The site is now almost unusable on the iPad

Pages not loading. Pages freezing. Ads freezing the page or auto running for ages and not allowing scrolling. The pages often freeze and it looks like something is trying to load, but it doesn't.

Bookmarks don't work. You can't click on the last thread from threads I'm on anymore.

I don't understand how it gets more and more broken. It's the only site I have trouble with.

Not experiencing this on iPad Air 6.

I’m not having any of these problems on my iPad
I’m on an iPad Pro

Edited to add IPad

It’s not the site it’s your browser. Are you using safari? You need to go into settings and clear all website data, cookies etc. The more data safari accumulates over time the more it slows down.

I had this with my iPhone, I couldn’t use it at all on here and it was the only site I had problems with

But they said it’s only with using MN? Not generally.

Yes. I'll try this, but I don't have problems anywhere else. I don't have any problems on my (oldish) android phone.

Why are you using Safari? MN have an App. Browser may cause problems due to the massive amount of data!

I was having this issue mainly with mumsnet on safari on iPhone. I cleared all
the browser history and it is infinitely better

That doesn't work with this problem. Clear everything and it still won't work. I changed browser to Opera and functionality is back!
