Everything on the forum takes AGES to load.

the title says it all really. takes me about a min and a half to load the front page and about 30sec to load a thread. as shitty as my internet is, it's not where the fault lies.

I'm using Firefox 50 on Windows 7 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0) but the issue has been there on previous Firefox versions on Windows Vista, 7, 8.1, 10 and Linux (Ubuntu and Mint). Chrome is worse.

It is much faster than that for me (always < 5 seconds), and according to our telementry that is much slower than almost everyone else. Can you try something (in Firefox):

• Open the dev tools using F12
• Click the cog at the right end of the dev tab bar
• Make sure that "Disable HTTP Cache" (under advanced settings, at the right of the tools) is UNCHECKED
• Switch to the network tab
• Refresh the page
• Let it finish loading
• Scroll to the top of the network panel, and expand the dev tools to be as large as possible
• Take a screenshot of the tools (the waterfall chart and associated data is what I'm interested in) and post it here.
• Ideally, if you can scroll down and take more screenshots so that all parts of the network data are screenshotted, it would help, but the top is the important part I think.

According to that screenshot, the page had fully loaded in less than 10 seconds, and should have been usable after about 5.

most of the time, it takes a min or so

could it have something to do with my top-quality PC and router spazzing out? usually takes a lot longer to load
