Forum latency issues?

[Fast_N_Curious]

Browser, version and OS: 

EDGE must current version

Windows 10 most recent release

 

Steps to reproduce/what were you doing before it happened?

Click on notification bell with major delay before the list pops up on the screen

 

What happened?

Click the notification bell and there is a major delay before it opens. Also happens when posting a new thread. Takes forever. This does seem like a "global" forum issue to me, FWIW

 

What did you expect to happen?

For notifications to pop up in a timely fashion

 

Any other relevant details:

Wifi connection is not the greatest here, but other forums I attend dont have anywhere near this amount of latency when navigating through the forum. The reason I say latency is because I doubt it's a bandwidth issue. This is linus tech tips after all and he is a bit of a bandwidth king, so that's probably not the issue here, although mods correct if I'm wrong.

Didnt want to make it out like this is 100% a forum issue. could be something else, it may very well be an issue on my end, perhaps. But like I said, I dont seem to have the same problems with other forums I attend.

Try with Google Chrome or Firefox

used to be the case with me, its now resolved, but the entire 2020 the forum was unbearable for me, idk if it was my ISP issue or DNS issue, but its so much better now, still editing comment is choppy

I would assume a DNS issue, try changing it to googles 8.8.8.8 or cloudflare's 1.1.1.1

When things are loading slowly, is https://linustechtips.com/cdn-cgi/trace also slow? And is this a permanent issue, or just sometimes?

That link is not slow at all. Then again its plain text so someone on 28.8K would probably load almost as quick(maybe 30 words or so. If you have some graphical stuff on the website or the actual server, it might help narrowing it down. 

It's been permanent for a couple years- since I've joined. In all likely hood I would be much more active on the forum if the website responded quickly..

Could be your plan,infrastructure or ISP.

I live on the other side of the globe in Europe and everything loads instantly,everything is snappy to me.

If that link isn't loading then the problem is either your browser, your connection to your ISP, or your ISP's connection to Cloudflare's network, because that page is served from Cloudflare's servers and doesn't touch the forum. Can you try a different browser to rule out the first option, and try tethering to your phone to rule out the others?
