Low bandwidth?

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but wondering is others find this forum takes an awfully long time to load?

Perhaps there isn’t sufficient bandwidth for the typical usage nowadays?

No problems from here, loads pretty much instantly. Are you going via a vpn or proxy?
Get same result whether on WiFi or outside (excellent 4G reception here: faster than my WiFi!)

Checking further, the slowness only seems to occur on my phone: loading the site from a PC browser works perfectly.

Mostly Glasgow-ish. Mostly.

Be sure to check you're not using Chrome Lite mode - or try enabling desktop mode on your phone's browser.

Forum loads basically instantly on 5g and WiFi for me on Firefox focus for Android.

Have you tried clearing your app cache on safari?

I find it usually loads very quickly but occasionally 'holds back', most likely because of other traffic. Is anyone else using the same hub?

I’ve had issues loading it on my sky broadband for a week or so. No issue when using mobile internet 4G.

My home internet is pretty bad, kicks you off every few mins. Have to use 4G at times, which is not ideal, uses it up. Forum is one of the better pages to load.

I also use Safari on iPhone and it does load the forum, but when opening a thread, Safari says it hasn’t finished loading the page (the bar is about halfway through), although the page works fine. Maybe you have a similar safari related problem. I have this problem both on WiFi and 4G.

Yes, seems we both have the same issue.
