Laggy site and hot phone!

I’m still having the ongoing issue with pages randomly reloading, thus losing my place on a thread.
That’s frustrating enough, but now I’m finding the site very slow - both to load pages and to type anything. There’s a lag. And most concerning - it’s making my phone hot! I don’t have these issues on any other sites I use, only Mumsnet. I’d guess it’s either really inefficient coding and/or ads.

I do not object to ads per se. I 100% understand that they’re needed. I do object to worrying that my phone is going to cark it just by using the site. Plus it’s hell on my battery life.

Morning, everyone. We're still looking at ways to improve this but unfortunately it's not an easy fix so we don't think it will be immediate. In the meantime, if you're seeing the video player you can close that, which will help reduce the load on your phone and should improve things a bit.
