Forum Loading Very Slowly?

#1 Post by bobgrey1997 » 13 Feb 2021 07:34

Has anyone else had issues with pages here taking a while to load? I check this Forum on my PC and phone quite regularly, and have been having an issue where when I click a link to a page or thread, it takes a very long time to load (up to a half hour). Luckily, I can click it again when I get inpatient, and it loads as would normally be expected. This has caused a habit of simply double-clicking everything.
It happens mostly on mobile, but have had it happen on PC a few times over the years. Because of this, I thought it was maybe my crappy old phone finally going out (it takes other sites a while to load, as well). However, I got a brand new phone last week, and it happens on it as well (had no issues with other sites yet).

Does anyone else experience this? What causes it?

Ywah, it seems to be mostly (if not entirely) a mobile thing.

No problems at all, check if you have issues with other sites located in northern europe
It might be an issue with a bad connection

Yeah, I've had no issues from other sites yet on my new phone. Could honestly be any number of issues between my phone and the servers these forums use (inclusive). I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this and new of a way to prevent it (or if the admins knew of it and were working towards a fix). Fortunately for me, as I said, simply clicking the link again loads faster usually, so it's more of just an odd annoyance than anything.
