Very slow loading topics etc

[Matsunoki]

Brian, the site has suddenly become very erratic and slow to load sometimes sticking for over a minute with the wheel of death spinning. Not sure if it’s your end or mine but all other websites I use are fine. Seems worse where images are involved. 

Best. Colin

Can you press windows key and R, then type cmd --> enter.
Type: ping www.militaria.co.za and enter.
Then let me know what the average time and ttl is? Or if any packets are lost?
It's obviously the connection between UK and South Africa, may be some issue being resolved. Don't think it's the server.
You can also check https://traceroute-online.com and enter militaria.co.za and see where the backlog is.
Looks like there is some issue the SA side. I expect whatever it is, is being worked on. But any more info from other countries is appreciated. I'll put in a query with the hosts.

Ah. Didn't expect that.
Well then, the solution is much easier.
Just blame everything on Apple

Over the last few weeks I've had nothing but spinning on every website, done my head in

 

Suddenly sorted after an update to laptop.
