Slow website??

B12 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 17:08:30 GMT

Has anyone else been experiencing a sluggish Public Mobile Community website?

I swear while pages are loading the site grinds to a halt and sometimes when I start typing the text does not appear almost till I stop typing.

I know this to only be on the Public Mobile website because no other website I visit behaves this way. Everywhere else is fluid.

Personally, the Community pages seem to be hit or miss, i.e. most of the time they're reasonably responsive, but occasionally they get sluggish, whereas navigating the account pages is almost always sluggish.

@B12 The Community website is fine for me. The only slow website is Self Serve.

Hi @B12 ,

I do find logging into "My Account" can be a bit slower than other log in pages. My "Community" account seems fine though.

Maybe try clearing your cache, see if that speeds things up some.

@esjliv

I could try that but I mean I only just got here so the cache would be miniscule.

@B12 true enough.

Have you tried logging in on different devices, in hopes of an improvement.

@B12 are you using a smartphone for the community? the lagging is chrome. it's a known issue... this also happens to me. when it happens I usually swipe up to get to the multi task and then go back into the app. turning on data saver in chrome helps speed things up

I could try another browser, I just really don't want to.

I don't use chrome, I use Firefox and on the side Brave for some things.

I am on a desktop computer running an i7 4790k... plenty fast enough to run websites. 😁

@B12 yeah that's weird. I've never run to any issues when I'm using the computer. I used to use chrome, but currently I'm using opera

@gpixel

I used to use Opera. I don't care for the design of it and plus it runs off of the chromium engine.

@B12 I agree, I'm not too fond of the design either. but it blocks all those horrible YouTube advertisements 👍. plus im able to use their proxy server with CloudFlare and it runs pretty good

@gpixel

I use Firefox because I like the design and because the settings are transparent enough that I can configure it exactly how I think it should be. I can't seem to do this with any chrome-based browser.

Firefox has an about:config page as well, which goes further into detail what can be disabled or enabled.

My plugins/addons are uBlock Origin, uBO-Scope, BitWarden and HTTPS Everywhere. uBO-Scope shows a person what scripts are running on a site and what percent of it tracks you. Unsurprisingly, Google is on the majority.

I have yet to find a better adblocker than uBlock Origin.

@B12 yeah Firefox was my main browser for the longest time for those reasons you mentioned.

that's a pretty cool add-on (uBo scope). no matter what we do big brother is always watching.

I don't really remember exactly why I switched, but I think it had alot to do with jumping on Google's bandwagon and having everything connected. yes it was convenient, but it also makes it convenient for someone else... now I'm trying to do the opposite

Ah. I am more/less anti-Google right now. And to say that is somewhat misleading as I am against the current CEO's agendas and the company itself is merely an umbrella for said operations.

If the current heads resign and honest, authentic ones take up the mantle I'll happily use Google and some other services as well.

I am currently "married" to the Apple ecosystem which I am not proud of nor grateful. I spent quite a bit on stuff there so I kinda have to stay if I don't wanna waste money.

All I can really say to both, as politely and modest as possible, is if you make great things but your plans are mischievous than what good is the "greatness" of what you make?

For me it's slow when logging in but fine after that.

@bluejaywpg

Sometimes it can be slow in the morning first thing but its improved since firefox started dumping your search history every day.
