Site issues with mobile devices

Hiya Kids,

Is anyone else having problems with pages loading very slowly, or not at all?

I've been experiencing this for the past few days while using my phone, and tablet. I haven't tried using my desktop, so just wanted to ask if this is happening to other people. Trying to figure out if it's my phone or a site problem.

Thanks!

Kathy

I've been having to reload a page because it gets "stuck" loading. Also, the search bar disappears when I go to type.

Are you using regular Fauna in a browser or the Tapatalk app?

I haven't seen any issues, faunaclassifieds works better than most sites, on my phone.

What I have to do is, open the search bar in a new tab.

Regular Fauna site, using Google Chrome. It's weird, because nothing has changed on my phone - no system updates, or new apps. Seems better this morning though.

Haven't seen any problems on my end. But honestly the browser you use seems to make a BIG difference. I was using Firefox, but kept on running into issue after issue until finally I went with Chrome. Problems all went away, and page loads are lightning fast. Over the years, I think I have tried every browser available, and it seems that I just have to rotate through them now and again as problems overtake the current one I am using. Sometimes I have had to just stick with the one was using at the time, as after trying out the others, I found that they were even worse, or lacked a feature I considered as being critical to what I want to do on the internet.

And when I put a faster video card in my PC, that also made a noticeable difference in speed as well. I'm getting ready to update the driver on my video card, and it isn't unusual for even doing something minor like that to cause something, somewhere, to break on me.

There are a lot of things involved between you hitting a key or clicking a screen icon or using a mouse to click on a link and the requested page finally shows up on your device. If you know how to run a traceroute, just look at the number of servers this all has to go through, any one of which could dramatically affect throughput.

Seriously, the more you learn about how all this works, the more amazing it seems that it even works at all.

I use chrome on my Android. I assume it's the phone causing this since I have multiple issues with the phone, but only since getting it have I had issues with the site.

It's working much better for me after the server move.
