Pistonheads has gone really slow and jamming

[wise man]

Is it just me or has the site gone really sluggish?? Last few days I can't even update my adverts and opening an advert or page takes forever.

What's going on any clues??

Download brave browser. Works a treat

[chris116]

More or less gave up with it until I saw the thread with brave mentioned. Quickest PH has ever run after installing it!

[glenrobbo]

Yeah.

It's the Bob Marley Effect.

Yep, downloaded Brave on Thursday and it's made a massive difference.

Yes for me (Safari / quite powerful Mac) the website gets something rarely seen on my Mac: The spinning ball. Not sure why, I would imagine some rogue Javascript from the advert provider but I haven't investigated it hoping it'll just go away soon.

[glenrobbo]

It's not that slow.
I rarely have to wait more than 45 seconds for a page to load.

Mind you, it keeps jumping about for another minute or so before you can press anything without ending up somewhere completely rand






. .om.

The random destination thing was really pissing me off more than the crap running time.

Unusable on Chrome on Android (Galaxy S8). To the point when I click on a thread it opens another thread instead.

Just installed brave and it's now not doing it anymore.

Yes, loading a page seems to annoyingly completely freeze for a while before it all appears.

See the other thread - in my case on Safari (iOS and MacOS) clearing all website data / caches sorted it out.

I think the issue is old and incompatible scripts, cookies, etc. not playing nicely. Starting afresh helps.

That may be why a new browser helps - no prior data to upset it.
