Is anyone else finding Mumsnet VERY slow at the moment?

Is anyone else having a problem with MN being REALLY slow at the moment.

Suddenly it seems to be hard to post or change topics - are there new updates, adverts or scripts that might slow it down?

It is only affecting MN and not the other sites and message boards I visit

Morning all,

Sorry you were still experiencing issues yesterday evening. There was some residual slowness whilst the fix came into place.

Can you please let us know if everything is back to normal today?

Thanks for your patience!

Hi @Lunde,

Thank you for flagging this. We're aware of the Cloudflare issue and are looking into a number of possible solutions. This is happening because we're seeing periods of very high traffic at certain times of the day, which puts pressure on our servers and causes additional security measures to kick in.

Could you please let me know:

  • Do you usually stay logged in between sessions, or do you log out and back in each time you visit?
  • Do you know if you're accessing Mumsnet in incognito or private browsing mode?

Thanks for your patience.
