(60,010 posts)You can also to to your history tab and look under "recently closed tabs"
which has worked well for me, including last night.

(23,867 posts)Thanks for posting, because I've been thinking about asking for weeks now, but thought it must be something on my end since no one else was posting about it.

bigwillq
(72,790 posts)I don't know for sure, but that issue is probably drawing a lot of folks to this site, so maybe that's why it is running slow.
edited: It has NOT been running slow for me today nor in the past week.

(183,068 posts)How about "straggle enhanced" or "dawdle-able"???
Hmmm? A little consideration for those of us in the dally community?

(183,068 posts)What's next after the drawers Hitler? The painters? The sculptors?

(13,685 posts)No way would anyone want to track any one on DU because the Chinese already have all the govt. employees personal info and DU peeps are not govt. employees. Well not all of us.

(2,427 posts)However, I find on mobile it to be faster than my desktop. This is the ONLY site where that holds true. Are you using AdBlock? I think that might be the reason? I am not sure - I have 100Mbps connection to my desktop but if I use my phone, even on 3G, it is arguably faster. I find this mainly true when opening large threads - perhaps the image loading from external sites etc. is the cause? Or are you seeing it slow even on small threads?

(60,010 posts)Tis better now, was horribly slow for past 3 days and esp. this am.
the rest of the web shows up quickly as usual.
Jazzgirl
(3,744 posts)DU has been slower than just about anything else. I don't understand it.

(84,711 posts)I'm DSL so have slow connection anyway, these days, but, "DU" has been almost impossible to reload in reading a thread and I've lost connection with it entirely a few times. Other sites have come up okay as usual.

(1,884 posts)Threads over 25 post and longer. The longer the thread the longer the wait.
Several minutes sometimes. Only on DU.
If I click on something I know is short (video thread, for example), during this time, it pops right up.
My Linux machine, everything pops right up, seldom any delays on anything, no matter how long the thread.
I have shut down my firewall, virus protection (Bitdefender), Malwarebytes and a few other items that might slow thing down and no change.

(38,613 posts)But it gets super-slow every single afternoon. I'll click on a tab and it just runs and runs. It's been like that for at least a year now.

(3,586 posts)And DU is the only site that gets hang when I direct my browser to it. All other sites? Bang, instant connection. DU? Almost always more than 5 seconds to get in. And I get hang when I go back and forth between threads in any forum, too.
So much for the blazing speed of FiOS.

(38,187 posts)DU is always the slowest to load out of any site I visit, but lately, it has actually gotten worse, almost impossible at times.
Quackers
(2,256 posts)GD is the slowest, followed up by LBN. Most of the other sub-forums load fast.
