Not knowing much about how the network is put together, I think it is safe to say from the comments that there are local problems. Along with a lot of other things, the web is stressed today with the surge in distancing. In addition to that, e-commerce is both having a field day and under pressure to perform. This means that data mining, tracking, and other fields related to niche targeting are also in overtime. The fatter the user's portfolio, the more associated connections will be loaded, which take time.
For me, I recently remarked how well the PMG Forum worked, especially when compared with others like it. You can install Clear URL to see how much url tracking is detectable on a given site. PMG for me tops at around 28 per session. Soundcloud, 40-50. These are good numbers. My favorite game? 180-250. Also. site owners don't like ad-blockers, such as found on Brave and CCleaner browsers. If the intent of the ads was to simply sell a product, well, that would be one thing. A lot goes on behind the scenes. Several on this forum are qualified to speak to that point. Do you notice more slowness during peak hours? Are you a heavy user of Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, Google, or MS Cloud?
Anyway, those are some random thoughts. Thanks for bringing that to the Forum's attention and awareness.
