    this site remains very slow for me. Other websites respond quickly this one takes a long long time.
    I dont think it is just me either.

    I am just saying so that you know - in case you dont.
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    1.8min to load this page.

    improves the time on site metrics I guess?

    Still slow, intermittently speeds up but generally crappy speed for some reason. One of my favourite sites to fritter away my working day when working.

    some further feedback ...

    The response of this website has recently been better... sometimes....
    but (esp today) still erratic and slow , sometimes worse, sometimes marginally acceptable. but rarely good.


    I'm not sure if its useful or not but as an end user my view is that google ads are taking too much time to 'work' , as evidenced by this showing for a while during refreshes....

    and also that anything search related on the website is very slow....


    If resources are an issue then you need to take this to management and get funding. Plenty of people would pay if it meant a better functioning website.

    Agreed Peat, giving up on the site for the night. Sometimes good, sometimes not... regularly annoying.
    Maybe tomorrow will be better, who knows?
    All day today has been cringingly slow on mobile and PC.
    Like you and others have suggested, happy to make a contribution if that's what it takes to get over whatever problems are going on here.

    I am running the Firefox 89.0.1 (64 bit) browser on a Kubuntu 20.04 platform (Kubuntu is a form of linux). The way my system is set up it has an ad blocker on it. I didn't set up the ad blocker myself. It is just the way this particular version of Kubuntu comes as standard. I am having all the sporadic connection problems you describe Peat. So while the google ads may not be helping things, I don't think the server problems will be fixed by axing the google ads.
