i have an iPad. It’s pretty new and I don’t have any problems with any other sites.

..i previously had similar issues with "Maplin web site and PC" ...
Sadly that test is no longer available.
Sites with a shopping basket are normally Good !

Thanks static.

it is manageable right now, even though it’s really slow. It sometimes is worse than this. Earlier today it wouldn’t load anything on this site, but was fine on all other websites.

my pad worked fine a couple of weeks ago, but it’s just gone weird on this site for some reason.

@Dan if your there. Any ideas.

@Paignton pete try it with your browser in incognito mode (or whatever your browsers equivalent is), that will disable all plugins etc you have.

Just done the incognito or private mode. Didn’t work.

also did 5he switch off and back on thing. Still on a go slow.

Ok will have to investigate further (by not coming here ! another day).
Have spotted a Firefox -unhappy moment ,in my logs.
Similar to a Maplin Moment that ate all my resources on a lesser machine.

Had a quick look , mine just seems to be -long Firefox sessions not fully letting go of all memory
- Closing and restart Firefox - clean slate.
Other websites take memory use up 100 -200 Meg
This site takes memory use up 210 ... sometimes creeping up to 500 Meg. and more -exact blame as yet untraced.
(Not much CPU activity - so not being Crypto mined !)
