It was mentioned by a few yesterday that the site appeared slow. I noticed it more as the day progressed but without any real need for concern. Today though, is very different. The site is very slow, difficult to navigate between threads, difficult to give a like or use the quote button. In fact, quite difficult to even connect. There's clearly something not quite right.

I'm experiencing no issues. Perhaps it would be worth clearing your browser cookies/cache, and installing an ad-blocking extension like uBlock Origin.

I don't see ads because I have plus. No problems whatsover getting on Autosport site or any other for that matter, the problem is specific to the forum. Cleared cookies earlier to no avail. I'll have to try it on the Windows machine, so far, I've only tried to access on Amazon tablet today.

I had the slowness issue on Saturday but haven't had it since.

 

During quali I was wondering if something happened that made lots of people post at the same time, which has previously strained the servers, but when it sped back up, it was traffic as usual.

Very strange indeed. I can't get on to the forum at all on the windows 11 machine, either directly or via Autosport front page using Firefox. Just shows to be timing out. I have 300mbps.

Certainly not noticing anything. Neither my apple devices or my brand new Win PC are showing any appreciable slowdown.

I wonder if it's an ISP thing, it seems very odd indeed. Nothing else is affected in any way other than the Forum. Maybe Telefonica have taken a dislike to Irish domains.

Seems OK this morning, functioning as one would expect.

It seems spot on here to be honest.

No, it's fine now PAYR, it must have been something peculiar to Telefonica.
