Hi. I have contacted people who are in charge of things, and haven't gotten a response back. This website is incredibly slow to load. Every single page takes several minutes to load. I hate it. I don't want to see any of the advertisements, either, and I think that's what the problem is.

Is there a way to disable ads?

Is there a fix?

Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.

Ty,

Cindi

It doesn't load slow on my computer.

There are a lot of variables to consider: your internet connection speed, your browser, how much junk (add-ons, viruses, cookies) has accumulated in your browser and/or computer, how old your computer is, how much memory it has, etc. etc. etc.

Firefox Ad Blocker application. I have never seen an ad on here at all. You have to be using Firefox though.

if you download Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, you can install Ad Blocker.. Here are the links to both. Internet Explorer isn't that good of a browser. It's always slower than Firefox and Chrome.. It also doesn't ever (at least in my experience) block ads as well as either of the other two. When you switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox it asks you if you want to import your favorites & stuff, so you won't lose anything that you've saved. I think Chrome does the same thing.

Mozilla Firefox: http://www.getfirefox.com/ << just click on the tab that says "desktop" & then click the green button that says "free download"

Ad Block Plus for Firefox: https://addons.mozil...n/adblock-plus/ << once you've downloaded Firefox, click this link & click the green button to install the ad blocker.

Google Chrome: https://www.google.c...chrome/browser/

Ad Block Plus for Chrome: https://chrome.googl...aibdccddilifddb

I use both browsers, so they're both good. I usually use Firefox, though..

Hope this helps you & fixes your problem. I use both & have never seen an ad on this website. I didn't even know it had advertisements. lol

If this doesn't solve your problem, then you may consider looking into the other things that COsleeveDude mentioned.. Starting with checking your computer for viruses, malware, adware & all that nasty stuff.

I second, third, fourth, fifth the recommendation for adblock plus. I never even knew there were ads on this site!

My pages load fine, not slow, but using the back button is a total pain in the arse !!! Sometimes have to hit the back button 7,8,9 times before it moves... googlelead.g.blah blah blah stacked up from all these ads... Yes, I use IE, but using "in private" browsing seems to help. Just a pain in the butt to have to switch to "in private" every time I come to this site.

How do you do in private browsing?

Found it, switching now.

facepalm.
