Maybe it's just me, but the site is really slow to load and navigate the last week or so. Been kinda busty and not posting. All other web pages work as normal. I've disabled my ad blocker, and also tried another browser (Edge) besides Firefox.
 
Could be your route to the server . Having an issue somewhere along the line . Not everyone has the same route .

I didn't even think to try my phone. Works great on my android. Oh well... looks like I'll have to figure this out.
 
If you are using a wifi router, unplug it for a few seconds and plug it back in.

Otherwise check what your speed is on your computer and see if you are getting what you should be from your provider.


If the speed on your phone is good and not good on the PC and they are using the same wifi, check to see that both are using the same frequency...2.4 vs 5.0 for instance. I've had one or the other get flaky while the other is still good, but a wifi router reset usually fixes that...for a while.

My PC is Ethernet hardwired so if the internet is slow on it its usually a problem with my provider, which is rare here with Firefly gigabit fiber.
