Definitely not having the problem you describe. And I would think if anyone else was then there would be a whole lot more complaints.

The server is very fast, is on a very fast connection at the datacentre, and can handle a lot of simultaneous requests, so I would expect this to be related to either your Internet connection or the device / computer you are using.

Are you using a phone, tablet, PC or laptop?

What phone / operation system; Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, etc.?

If a PC or laptop, what web browser are you using, for example; Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc.?

What sort of internet connection are you using; mobile 3G/4G, ADSL, Fibre broadband?

Thanks,
Shaun

Definitely not experiencing any problems with the speed of the site, even on a mobile connection it's reasonably quick.

Unplug your router/Modem and disconnect the wires for 20 minutes, reconnect and see if things improve. If not, look to change your DNS settings and see if that improves things.

Try these, they are Googles DNS settings
Primary 8.8.8.8
Secondary 8.8.4.4

If no improvement, then try these, they are the 'Open DNS' settings

Primary 208.67.220.220
Secondary 208.67.222.222

no problems here apart from an occasional 404 not found error when I hit the top button.

Right here goes,
pc.,windows, broadband 30 mps and browser is opera.The thing is every other forum/site i have no problems what so ever..this is the head scratching scenario im in..

Could be ISP related. I use open DNS settings on my router as the AOL servers at the time I signed up were pants.

This site is fast, so the issue is at your end I am afraid.

 

[mrcunning]

seems quicker here at work..must be the opera browser?...still weird tho.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

Try clearing your browser cache - there may be some old files in there that need refreshing:

If you are using a Windoze PC why are you using Opera? Try Chrome or Firefox.
