Mega slow here. Definitely the ad system causing the problems.

What the titty fking christ is wrong with the IT devs at PH?

I’d be embarrassed to tell people I worked on PH’s IT.

If it’s manager driven then they should be sacked for terminal cretinitis!

I agree. I've worked in IT Dev for 20 years, and to be fair I've written some st in my time, but not as bad as this.

Took me 3 minutes to get into this thread to reply.

Sad to see this decline if so. I've been using it on Chrome for years without issue.

Using brace for PH for now. Impressed with it though, so it may even replace Chrome in the New Year.

Does anyone else use 1Blocker X on the iPhone? It's what I've been using for a while and never had a problem with the speed of PH with it, but I'm a bit worried that no-one else on here is using it!

Is that a dns based service? So they’re just harvesting your personal sites visited and so on?

Chrome works fast here on my macbook pro, PH on safari is slower than a Lada full of elephants going uphill.

Had been having the same issues with threads part loading, refreshing the page not having any effect etc so at the point of not using PH at all.

Saw the recommendation for Brave browser and instantly different, no lag whatsoever - thankyou to the user who mentioned it thumbup

Weirdly it was a great improvement on my phone, but pretty much the same on my tablet (both Android).

Only difference is my tablet loads the classic site rather than the phone site.






Eventually.

Christ, I didn't want to have to install another browser just to use this site, but it was unusable. Now on Brave and it's night and day difference

Can’t be bothered changing my end of the deal to make theirs work, so just haven’t been using the site much.
Reason UK car market is struggling might be because no-one can be a*sed browsing the classifieds any more!
If I was an advertiser (or CarGuru) I’d be looking to renegotiate.
