Website Tooo Darn Slooooowwww!

[Angelmom 30]

Why does this website take so darn long to upload, every single page takes minutes, and minutes? How does it get fixed? And, when I'm typing, the page will be doing something and won't let me type. It's very frustrating and aggravating. Please, administration...fix the problem!

i think its because of all the ads running on it...it sucks. if i didnt love all the info i would stop coming here but i'mmmmm addicted

My daughter is a webmaster. I know how challenging it can be. These ads actually are pretty good. The ads pay the bills.

I have Road Runner Lightning from Bright House in Florida. Loads pretty fast for me but dial-ups would have a hard time, I'm sure.

I think the bare-belly flash ad on the right slows the page down the most but it probably brings good money in.

I use the app, from my phone. No ads! Fast loading

I had the same problem using the browser Internet Explorer. Read about some others on here that didn't have the problem they were using other browsers.... Foxfire and/or Chrome.

I downloaded Foxfire (it's free) and an Add-on they have called "ad-block Plus" and use that now for this site and man is it FAST!

Here is the link for Foxfire:

You will have to determine if you want it for a PC or a phone then download the appropriate software. But it is a browser that has been around for decades and totally safe.

Don't forget to download the "Ad-block Plus" (it blocks the ads).

The Chrome browser by google -- you can go to there site and get it, although I have no experience with it, I 'm sure it is fine.

Honestly, I have been using firefox with adblock on it for so long, I didn't even know this site had ads.

It loads for me immediately and I never have to wait for anything. That is really interesting that it's so opposite for you. I didn't even know that could happen!

I added memory to my computer but I still have problems with internet explorer saying things about memory. I did have Chrome on here for a few days, that someone else downloaded when working on my Norton....and I uninstalled it because there are privacy issues with Google that I didn't want to deal with...and I think it made my computer run slower. I looked up Mozilla because I used to have that and never used it...and people say it makes their computers run slower....which is a problem I do not want.

I will never click on any of the ads, no matter what...I don't have money for that stuff, and I find them terribly annoying. They should target people who have money to spend...not me...but I know that's probably not going to happen. I need to find a way to deal with this problem that won't slow the rest of my computer down. I have basic cable internet.

I would love if the administrators would FIX the problem...because i is a big problem....and if they would stop ignoring me, because this is not the first time I brought this issue up.

I have moved this thread into the appropriate section, it is more likely to be addressed by Admin here.

[Angelmom 30]

To where did you move this thread? I have directly contacted administration with no avail. If you are able to help by getting the problem fixed, please do.

I've been asking about this since I began with the site...to no avail...please see what you can do...because I like this site and don't want to leave, but if a remedy does not come soon, I'm going elsewhere.

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

Will do.

Let's see if it's a browser issue. Can you try with Chrome, Firefox or Safari please for testing purposes?
