Something's off

When I'm on my phone(90 odd percent of the time) pages don't load fully. (I deleted cookies to no change). The progress bar scoots across to about 80% then hangs. The things that don't load are outside links of media, like FB, X, insta, reddit. If I hit stop, a few seconds later those things load. I'm on pc now and I opened several pages as different tabs (as I usually do on PC and then close as I read them) and they did eventually load but were thinky-spinning( i believe it's called) for a while.

PC Chrome.

Thanks - any chance you could grab a video mate?

Can't replicate - the site should be rapid.

When it happens, if you could grab the IP addres;

... on the same device and send me that privately too. We've had loads of problems with bots etc so there's a chance something is being caught up in anti efforts - especially if you're visiting from outside the UK.
