better, but still seems slower than usual. mobile browsing on IOS11 with safari seems slower than IE11 desktop.

All good here still.

Has Drac ever had a problem with this site? He never, ever seems to have a problem with the site. Is there a special version running for him?

It’s been very variable in speed over the last couple of days. Yesterday morning it was normal speed at home but very slow at work. Got back home and it was nearly as slow. This morning was slow at home but a bit quicker at work. Still nowhere near the usual speed.

Not had any of the porn redirects

Doubtful.
But never comes on and says “yeah, same issues here guys”

Have a look through the thread.

Only the premier addition.

Site’s been slow again for me today – different PCs, W7 and W10. IE and Chrome.
Any idea when things might get a bit more stable?

Slow? Fell flat on its arse earlier. Took me to some bbpublishing holding page thing (can you tell I’m not an IT bod?).

like this 🙂

Weird how irritating I find a slightly slow website.

Fast internet access has become such a fact of life, even though I remember using dial-up and waiting AGES for pages to load fully, especially if they had images! 🙂

I must admit I’ve thought the site was a bit slow, but assumed it was largely down to my BT HomeHub 5, which must be around five years old.
I’ve just received the latest HomeHub, which should optimise my faster broadband, and it’ll be interesting to see if the site does speed up a bit.
It’s the only issue I have, I don’t get any of the other problems like popups, etc.

So slow that it has taken me 5 mins next to open this txt page. I’ve never had it this bad and it’s basically unusable. Whatever they did has royally screwed this site up.

other sites are as fast as ever (i.e. “instant” with a few belated images) but stw plain text pages (with the ads off P-style) are between 3-10 seconds here

EDIT: – just timed 3 goes at reloading the forum: 30, 24, 26

It’s “fine”, I use multiple tabs so I can read something else while I wait

Frankly, it’s completely screwed.

Whatever they did has royally screwed this site up.

AFAIK it’s nothing to do with the site or any “updates,” it’s a hosting issue. It’s outside of STW’s control short of changing hosts.

Aye, would be my guess, basically scrimping on the hosting fees! 😆

So why don’t they? Given the volume of users and traffic, they should be in a strong position to bargain for better…no?

I had to check my 120 Mbps hadn’t switched back to 28k 😯

It’s beyond painful

Yep, 15-20 seconds per page every time for me at the moment. It’s not unusable but it’s painful.

Because tight f*****s won’t pay a couple of quid a month for better hosting.

You’re (mostly) all your own worst enemies

very poor today

My p membership has just run out and my card details are out of date – as I subscribed just for the extra speed of no adverts I am considering whether it is worth renewing!

Cripes, it’s taken me ages to log in to just post this, ironically ( for the denizens of STW), during this looooooooong process, I recognised that I must have the ‘patience of job’ to stay with it 😆

Made me chuckle.

Anyway, what I will suggest is that we each have consumer power. Log out, close the tab and reduce their traffic/income.

Easy really and seemingly much better than complaining for all concerned 😀

I’ll try again tomorrow evening after work and if it hasn’t improved, I’ll do the same again. Which, I don’t think can be considered as a flounce per se, more like a bit of consumer action.

I was getting 65s to load a page yesterday.

It’s a bit disappointing.

Really slow today – thought it was just my phone, but dog slow on work laptop/network and home network too.

Pretty much unusable now.

Try again later……….

For a commercial web site to allow this level of performance degradation remain is truly crap.
Have they stated anywhere what the issue is?

Now using the new router, it does seem to have boosted loading speed a bit, but it’s a bit difficult to really tell.

Yes its all our fault

Of course they haven’t and they won’t.
There’s nothing wrong obviously…
It’s all our fault at our end…

Well they have.

DDOS Attacks on the host can’t see where they’ve blamed the users.

VERY slow for last 2 days here using safari on mac

Ridiculously slow tonight. Using Samsung s7 on fibre at home. Page starts to load, last 3/4 of loading bar or whatever you call it takes about 10/15 seconds.

how about this…

(what did you do to trigger it).

That’s just badly worded. “What were you doing when it triggered?” Would have been better.

I don’t know about needing everyone to pay…the non-payment vast majority are generating an income with the volume of ads being served, so money is being made.
Given the performance, why would people pay?

are you making things up now?

No.

Long running Ddos attack, it’s been shit for weeks now, and it feels like it’s getting worse.

Bruneep, you win the interweb for today. 😆
BTW, it’s really, really slow for me. Android on Chrome, if anyone is taking notes.

I can’t log in at work now, something about the security certificate expiring on the 27/12
