Website Slowness?

[Kitty 34]

I was going to post the same thing but then I thought it might be just my computer. This morning I couldn't get pages open and if they did it took forever!!!

Definitely a backend issue, not our computers!

 

[low-key]

now ya all know what its like to be me all the time

Slow for me, too

Not sure if there's any connection but it seems to me if the ads at the bottom of the page contain a video, the whole thing lags as it is loading/playing. I try to remember to scroll to the bottom and close any videos before I start typing if I'm trying to post.

No connection. I have AdBlock + so no ads running on this page at all and it's still so slow it's almost unusable.

It's slow this morning once again for me.

Yesterday afternoon I noticed that it was typical speed I thought.

 

[Meriweather]

faster earlier this morning, now slow again

Extremely!!!!!!! I love to read/browse/post here - but when it's this slow......I just leave the site and move on. It gets annoying fast!!

Yep slow for me as well. Especially when I click on Alerts it takes forever to show them.

Me too, back to slow again today...

 

[HarperLeigh]

Back to crawling.

So slow. Only this website. FB, Reddit, Fark, other message boards...all loading great. Almost a minute to load a page here.

Chrome, Edge, both private browsing and regular...still slow. Definitely on the Dis end.

No connection. I have AdBlock + so no ads running on this page at all and it's still so slow it's almost unusable.

I have adblock on my laptop but not my iPad. It's been worse for me on the iPad.

My big thing is that I was running an ad blocker on my iOS devices (Adblock) on the recommendation of other DIS posters to improve performance and prevent crashes due to the power-hungry and buggy ads. However, more recently DIS pages won't load up at all if Adblock is enabled.

 

[pooh'smate]

The Dis is working great for me today and I run Adblock.

 

[E&Cmom]

I am having issues within the past hour. I can get on to other website but here it is bein painfully slow for me.

 

[kimblebee]

Today has been brutally slow..

 

[Pacolovestacos]

Brutally slow tonight.
