No, not at all. Have you tried clearing your cookies?  I’m sure @nywawcan help.

I'm not experiencing any issues on mobile or desktop.  Are you on cell signal or WiFi?  What device and browser are you using?  And is it all topics or can you link to a specific one so I can troubleshoot it?

Ok its me then . I'll see if I  can figure it out

They load slow on my computer, but are fine on my phone. It’s not just you.

I don't seem to be having an issue.

I've also noticed that it pictures are really slow to load on my PC.

Really odd to load slow on PC but fast on mobile, would have expected the opposite.  Generally it's a cellular (poor reception) vs WiFi (faster internet speeds) that is the difference maker.  Could be a lot of things, are the computers up to date with OS updates and browser updates?  Have the temporary files/cache ever been cleaned out?

All of the images are behind a CDN, so they are cached to return as fast as possible based on the viewer's location.

If you have examples of a particular topic, I can try to simulate desktop loading with whatever OS and browser you are using on them.  In general, if you are using IE/Edge on desktop and say Chrome or Safari on mobile, that too can be an issue/difference.  I'd need more details to test things out.

Here’s what page 4 of the chuckle loads like on PC.

@Splitear can you verify Chrome is fully updated on your desktop?  Also you can try to clear out your Chrome cache and see if that helps.  It's possible you have a giant cached of files that the browser is going through first to try and find a match locally on your machine before downloading from the CDN.

Install this (or not) ... https://download.cnet.com/CCleaner/3000-18512_4-10315544.html

Thanks for the suggestion @GreeneHunter, but I downloaded and ran the program, and it didn't help at all.

Another thing to try on Chrome is in Incognito mode.  You'll have to log into the site again as it's a new private session without any browser extensions running.  If it happens in Incognito/Private mode still, then it rules out something with browser extensions.

Can also try another browser entirely to rule out Chrome.  If it happens on the other browser too, then we know it probably isn't browser related.

I run Safari on my IPhone and Chrome on my laptop and both run fine and always have on this site. The only time I’ve ever had slow downs was when I was on my phone with few bars due to poor cell phone signal.
