adblock plus is now enabled and suddenly it works really well
I do like to support the site by looking at the adverts, but not when it makes looking at the site akin to dialup on a really bad day....
when it is fixed, might be worth disabling adblock for the site...
I don't think it is related to the adverts this time, we performed an upgrade to the site recently which is having a few teething troubles which are manifesting themselves as temporary slowdowns of the entire site.I do like to support the site by looking at the adverts, but not when it makes looking at the site akin to dialup on a really bad day....

Can you try disabling ad-block and see if it slows down again just to confirm or disprove my theory?

No, we have nothing to do with Phorm, but we do use an external company to fill up any adverts which our sales team haven't managed to fill with car related adverts.no idea what this is..
