Investigating BYC Being Slow

[chickens really]

Mine is terrible too. I keep getting a notice that the server isn't responding....It's not always though.

BYC has been slow, and getting stuck for me too. I have to close it out half the time because I can't load a new page. Other websites are just fine, btw, so it's not my internet. I thought it was just because my PFM (premium feather membership that I won in a contest) ran out, and now there are ads. But maybe it's more than that.
To answer these questions

1. What exactly were you doing (browsing an article. posting to a thread, etc.)?
2. Instead of saying "the page loaded slow" please provide details like "I hit refresh and it took about 15 seconds for the page to load"
3. What browser / version are you on?
4. Have you tried clearing your browser cache / history of files:

1--Everything I do on BYC is slow, reading threads, trying to go to next page of a thread, clicking 'like', even opening the website.
2. It regularly gets stuck and the rainbow ball just spins, so I have to close it out.
3. I am using Safari version 11.0.2
4.Yes cleared history. No change in BYC. And as I said, all other websites, like Facebook, Youtube, etc are fine, no slowdowns.

Mine just froze again..Won't open pages.

Yesterday between 3 and 4 PM Pacific time I was using my phone and every link I clicked took well over 10 seconds to load. One of those links was watched threads.

When on the computer or tablet, sometimes I noticed a delay when clicking the like button.

It's got to be network based, as I'm the other side of the world, and it's super fast here on broadband and 4g.

I don’t doubt you but, it’s been slow for me on about 6 different WiFi connections. On my fast data when I had full bars it was slow. Maybe people without the Feathers membership are having trouble because of the pop ups?

My question too, do those of you who reported problems, have PFM, or do you have the ads?

I have a PFM.

That's why I need to see all the content being loaded in the post I made, as I don't have ads plus run an ad blocker so only BYC content is loaded.

Can you provide a screenshot, or a copy of the exact text that is in the message?

I have ads turned on and running, and I'm not having any performance problems or slowness, so I don't think it's related to the advertising.

I get zero pop ups or ads. It's only been the last week that it happens. I tried to get a screen shot but during this episode nothing works.
