Slow loading of forum

[GAD]

Hi. over the last week or so I've noticed that the forum takes much longer to load and log in after signing in there can be a wait of several seconds, sometimes even longer.
This is happening on a Chromebook and windows10 laptop.

As this is unusual I thought I'd mention it.

Absolutely fine here and has been for several weeks now.

Great, does that mine mine's going to be OK now too?

been getting 'page unresponsive' for some weeks on and off, not sure if it is the forum, my tinternet, or part of being 'on report ' again

Usually means one of the mods has nodded off on the keyboard again.

All okay here.

There keeps being periods where the database slows everything down, and makes the pages slow to load.  It seems to be OK at the moment.....  *touch wood*

Today it seems a little slow, rather than 'Go for a cup of tea while it loads'.

Not sure what that means?

Going along ok on my mobile here.

I find that the layout banner at the top of each page always finishes loading after everything else.

Are they high resolution pictures?  Could slightly lower ones be used?

Several pages are taking >5 seconds to load - much slower than usual. The home page is taking longer to load on first visit. Gets better after logging in in.

Far too often I am told it's my ancient wheezing laptop at fault. Much of that is true but it's very odd other sites are perfectly acceptable to me. There is no other site I use which leaves me with a blank page while it goes off somewhere for anything up to 90 seconds or so. As one who has to read a lot more posts whether I'm interested or not it can be infuriating.

Are there issues with the Forum today as it's been the slowest I've ever seen it? I view it three or four times a day on iphone, ipad and Mac and it's usually good, but today it's very slow and has even given me a mainly blank screen with a slow server message at one point.

All good on my phone here in Australia

It is pretty snail like for me this morning. First time for ages that it's been slow.

Yep, same. 5.992 second page load time for this reply window.

Edit: and 21 seconds when I actually hit post.
