I agree everything seems very slow to load at present.

Jimbo,
Do you tend to leave your computer on all the time?
If so my initial suggestion of re-booting computer and modem ever now and then, should make a difference to your internet speeds.
Also worth checking on line what your internet speed is (google broadband speed checker) and test your line, as some providers (no names) do slow things down for all at busy times.
My suggestion for CCleaner is still an option although I must confess, I do not have Windows 10 so did not know of the clean up option within it.
I swear by CCleaner and use it when I am uninstalling software as well since it tends to be more reliable than the earlier Windows systems.
Cheers Delboy.

Hi @Delboy , thank you, you're right! It is on all the time we're indoors actually! Will do a reboot now and again as you suggest and see how we get on....I suppose that must have the effect of stirring it up a bit, like I said it may not be a forum issue, could be allsorts of reasons really I suppose e.g. internet speeds at certain times of day etc.....it does seem to be quite random  :hmmm:

Jimbo,
I would test it at various times in the day and evening and establish if there is a pattern to the speed changes. i have known people to complain to the provider and as if by magic the speed increases emphatically. As I said some providers "throttle down" the feeds at times.
I am with a provider that does not and rarely have problems but when I do, I usually run my faithful CCleaner or just re-boot everything.
Good luck,
Delboy.

Very slow this evening. I couldn't get in at all between 17:15 & 17:30 - 'the server dropped the connection'

It's taking a long time to do anything. Just loading this page took 17 seconds, according to the stats at the bottom.

I get timeouts at least once a day. Usually back to normal within 10 minutes. Viewing on mobile, so nothing to do with throttled ISPs or similar as I view on the move too.

Been bad on this website only all evening, with cannot connects and slow connects - the former very common.

Giving up for the day.

It just dumped my last post. No internet connection.
The years have been good to me, it was the weekends that did the damage.
