Forum sometimes very slow

Unread postby Terry » Wed Jul 01, 2020 7:50 pm

Is anyone else experiencing (seemingly random) delays browsing the RWA forums? It seems that sometimes a page takes a very long time to load.

I use the Chrome browser on Android and on Windows 10 and I see the same thing on both platforms. I haven't tried a different browser, but I don't experience issues with other sites.

Try the latest version of Microsofts Edge browser as it is quite considerably faster than Chrome. I had been a Chrome user for about four years.

Edge didn't make things better. In fact, about a minute into the wait with Edge, I opened Chrome and went to the forum home page. Chrome loaded the page before Edge did. In fact, now several minutes later, Edge is still thinking about it. *!rolleyes!*

It’s not the forum. It’s either what he said or your modem or the isp or some virus program or............... I usually run through a vpn and once in a while the forum slows way down. I pause the vpn and Shazam it goes fast.

My Norton VPN does the same thing for forums and downloading. I have to turn it off for while til I am done.

Yeah probably my ISP. I'm not using a VPN.

No biggie. Give it a minute or two and it'll come back.
