It's been very poor for me over the last few days. I'd guess that pages fail to load about 50% of the time. Today I struggled to get on the site. Then I got on and the next page I clicked on failed to load as well.

Haven't noticed any problems with any other sites I visit.

This reply failed to load three times as well.

Yes, same here:

This happens regardless of the browser and OS, and also while clicking on links as well as searching....

In case it helps someone, or if it helps identify the problem, if the page does not load in the first 5 seconds, hit ESC to cancel and then F5 to refresh -- and eventually it does load.

But if it does not load in the first 5 seconds, it will then (always) fail after a minute or two...

Blazing fast here in Norway.

Are you guys on wireless network by any chance?

[solo]

Yes.

[xrok1]

no, ADSL

[d12dozr]

Yes, I'm on wireless but all other websites load fast...

[Rich O Brien]

I'm wireless and experience no issues here?

But Youtube is brutal lately, even for short videos at the lowest resolution.

But I hope your issues clear up soon.

Wired T1 here with regularly over 1000 kb/s download speeds.

No problems with any other sites (and even YouTube works for us).

I does work -- but only sometimes. If it takes more than 5 seconds, ESC and F5...

hm... maybe a traceroute might give some hints?

DNS resolution error | network-tools.com | Cloudflare

Note that a traceroute takes much longer than a normal request, but maybe there are some big spikes that can give a hint.

I have been having a similar problem to xrok1.
IE and Firefox both.
Contacted Gaieus by email and discussed it.
Reported broken website with Firefox under Help menu.
I am in North America, but well over 1000miles from xrok1.
Many of you are much closer and are not having these issues.
Having to click more than once on navigation buttons.

I don't understand this, but maybe it will help...I did it twice because sometimes I don't have any trouble.
