Site Freezes?

[R&M FIREARMS]

Only issues I am having is from main computer at shop and home.
Taptalk on iPhone no issues loading fast as always.

Site performance has definitely improved by a substantial amount. Thanks, Jerome!

By far greatest site on the web but yes extremely slow on my apple products….

For the last six-weeks are so it has been very slow working within the site. I even had a couple of members contact me wondering if they were being "shadow banned." I suggested @BRICKBURN was a far better resource. But seriously, it is still very slow today moving from page to page within the site.

Everytime I go to this Site and Click on anything It Freezes. It will load but takes Forever. I never have any problems anywhere else on the Net? Just this Site. Does anyone else Exsperience this?

Yes and I am on a gigabit network. It was so bad a while ago that I quit logging in. Interestingly, if I was not logged in then the site would come up fast. So, it might have been authentication related.

It's usually just fine on my computer but can go into sort of a buffeting thing from time to time where a page just won't load on my phone. Did it again today and has done it for over a year. It gets bad enough where I just have to abandon the site for a while. Otherwise if I wait it may take 5 minutes or more to go back to normal.

A few days ago it was very unresponsive but is better now.

Site is still pretty slow on my end, but no plans to give up on it!

Performance on the site does seem to be intermittently slow. Especially so when loading pictures.

Maybe lowering the default resolution for photos in posts might help? Or is it possibly a throttled hosting account? I know other forums that use the same underlying software do not seem to experience these same slow-down symptoms.

This past week it is getting progressively slower.

I am not seeing any response from site admin, please could you let us know what is going on guys?

Absolutely, I have experienced this! I've not wanted to offend anyone so I have kept quiet, but this site is painfully slow at times!! Maybe the time of day and traffic on here slows things down, but most evenings I just give up and watch hunting videos on TV.

Slow on the apple and average on my Office computer. What would really help is the ability to post photos off of the iPad and not be constrained by Tap Talk. Having to wait to post photos on my office computer is a real drag.

To those experiencing slow load times, it might be beneficial to indicate which browser and platform you use.

On both mobile and desktop I use the Brave browser with "shields up." Occasionally I do experience a slow page load, but most of my time on AH is pretty smooth, not enough to properly frustrate me yet.

Good insight on browsers. I running Edge, which really kind of sucks overall.
Got to change that.
I have experienced slow loading of pages, with lots of pictures the last couple of weeks.
Wasn’t sure if it was my router ( rebooted) the website, or my wife watching Netflix.

Nevertheless, for me, the website has improved recently.
For the value of African expertise, rifle knowledge and good opinions, I will gladly wait for pages to load.
Thank you Jerome, and Africa Hunting!

Maybe delete the joke and politics forums and that will clear at least half of the files and speed things up. Just a suggestion.

On my computer it seams alright but on my phone I wonder at times.

After all it is on African Time

lol

 

[Beck]

It's slower than most sites. It's on african time is a good way of saying it

 

[Kalthoff]

Logging in can take 5 minutes some days. It did just now.

The pages can be looooaaaaaadiiiiiiiiinnngggg for several minutes at times. It the case just now.

I've observed that pictures posted in the threads are often wastly-many-many-many times larger than than they need to be for web viewing. The use of bandwith could be significantly reduced by enforcing a maximum image size, more in line with web viewing.

Back to experiencing extensive load times for both mobile and desktop browsing on different networks. The search feature in particular is practically unusable. This is meant as more of a heads up than it is a complaint.

Same on this end too
