MAD is horrible to load up

Perhaps the server needs rebooting.
Maybe we have been hacked by a Wrexham or Forest fan?
As an admin Swale, are you able to contact anybody for info please?

Either will not load or is extremely slow, also a problem opening pages. Very frustrating to say the least.

To counter it I log on then stop it straight away and log on again and it normally loads straight away
Hope that helps

It improves the service appreciably.

Must admit past few weeks it’s been very very slow but even slower on iPhone when I’m not near laptop maybe servers aren’t coping or need maintenance??

Unfortunately not I'm afraid (I'm merely a de facto moderator rather than an admin). The Footymad admin doesn't reply.

The site is too busy checking for naughty letters within words

There is a site which tests the speed of websites: https://www.webpagetest.org

Summary for Footymad is:



https://www.webpagetest.org only allows one free test/day without registering which I can't be bothered to do but I wanted to test something like https://www.bbc.co.uk for comparison.

It is so slow that https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com thinks it is down as it is not responding quickly enough.

Not at all good.

Seems as if someone has fed the hamster. Another test site* reports it as being good for load speeds and downforeveryone immediately reports that the site is up.

*The website I mentioned restricts not to one free test/day but one free test/month. Today's test was done with https://tools.pingdom.com which also has limits.

Really funny you saying that I nearly started the same thread a few days ago but thought it must be my connections, its really slow to load up, unless Laddo has hacked it and seeking revenge! :-)

Has laddo gone on ‘holiday’?
