I know someone raised this a couple of weeks ago and quite a few people responded that they were having issues with how PF is running, it takes forever for pages to load and I am even experiencing pages just freezing when trying to load. It is getting very tedious, most days now I have a attempt at accessing the site but I am loosing the will to live waiting for it to respond.

I have tried to access the site using different browsers and it is the same on all of them.

Is there a tech issue with the site ?

I don’t know what is causing it but it is becoming the norm for me to select PF to open and then put my iPad down for a few minutes while it loads. I miss a lot of pictures too when they are thumbnails, very often I give up before the full picture loads as it takes so long. There doesn’t appear to be any logic to it as other times it loads normally.

It is the same in Safari or Chrome.
 
I changed some settings two days ago to address this issue, and I thought the problem is solved. I will look into this more...we are on the fast server, it is just a matter of optimizing some settings. Thanks for letting me know!
 
I agree. Mine has been bad for weeks. I too have changed web browser to see if that is the issue but there does not seem to be any difference whatever I use. Very frustrating.

The problem is intermittent and I am still working on finding a solution. Thank you all for your feedback, and patience...


Thanks pwadm.....if it's any help....I have experienced anything between very slow and very quick response times today....and changing browsers or clearing caches etc. makes no difference.
One thing I have noticed is that ...if I turn off wi fi and then turn it back on...the front page loads very quickly but....if I click on another heading it all slows to a crawl.

Regards
