On my iPhone, The site seems to take a very long time to refresh/change page when logged onto my home WiFi (Virgin Broadband) but loads fine when I turn WiFi off. 

not happening on any other websites. 

Any ideas ?

    Oh wow, thought it was just me! About a week for me as well, either very slow or fails to reload at all, like it’s frozen.

    Yeah around a week for me. 

    Are you on iPhone/virgin ?

    iPhone / BT , I even rebooted the router as I thought it was playing up until I realised it’s only this site that seems to be affected.

    I phone. Thought it might be safari but was able to get on the Bromley council website earlier when I checking the revised bin collection day.

    It may be worth clearing down your cache to see if that helps, but any information that narrows down the extent of the issue will be helpful.

    Same here, assumed it was my wifi. I think I’ve been having some other issues that started the same time with safari so wonder whether it was some Sky Broadband thing

    I noticed if you just click on the X while it’s hanging, it completes the page change instantly. It’s like it gets stuck. 

    @LoOkOuT any ideas?

    I’m in the US, not having this problem but I’ve run into this a few times - maybe the ad server.

    I have the same problem in New Zealand - like others I thought it was unique to my home. Hitting the ‘x’ is a fix for me. Twitter embeds often don’t load as well.

    Looks like it’s been fixed? I went to full site view on WiFi which worked fine, have gone back to mobile version and all now load without lagging.

    Nope, still have to click on the x on top right to get it to load

    I’m not sure it is sorted, I noticed before it works ok in evenings, it’s why I thought it might be influenced by some form of wifi family block or something that

    I'm with Sky and found it slower when I had the more restrictive family settings turned on. Adjusting that seemed to solve it, I wondered if it's caused by some of the adverts on here?

    Yep I can confirm it’s gone slow again, it isn’t just evenings for me

    I noticed it was slow on safari, along with lots of other sites. I’ve started using chrome on iOS and it’s been fine ever since.
