Is this site loading slowly lately for anyone else?

The past few days it's been a chore navigating the site. I've experienced worse than this, but when I click around instead of loading pages instantly, it can take up to 20+ seconds sometimes for a page to load. I tried it on my mobile devices and same thing. Just to make sure it wasn't my internet connection I want to other sites and they seem to be fine so it doesn't appear to be my connection.

Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

It's been brutal for me on multiple PCs and multiple types of devices. Not just you.

Not slow for me, but RealGM now features those janky ads (the ones streaming sites usually do) where you click anywhere on the forum and it opens some new site for me.

I had the misfortune of browsing on a computer without adblock today and an ad for Stake changed the appearance of my cursor.

Slow here as well for the last 3-4 days.

Thought it was just my phone….sometimes (right now) it’s like trying to type a message in slow motion.

I saw a comment on the GB that they are archiving threads to improve performance. But I definitely think it’s being driven by the ads.

Experiencing this site on a phone is a complete nightmare that I continue to endure. Random refreshes mid writing a post.

I could barely post, the site was freezing up on me so bad.

If you use chrome or firefox use Ublock Origin.

That's an adblocker.

You could also use Brave Browser. I'm having no issues since they fixed it a few days ago.

I'll second this recommendation. Brave is tremendous.

The plane refuses to land, as well.
