Is the Fodor's site getting even slower?
 

There have been posts in the past discussing how slow the Fodor's site was to load, but I thought that had been fixed some time ago when they redesigned the layout. Perhaps it is just my computer, but similar sites load in a flash, while lately Fodor's seems to take forever.

Anyone else have this problem?

Yup. It's interminable.

Yes, I find it's frequently very slow. And I've tried a couple of different browsers and nothing helps. I think the problem is that there are some ads that are constantly reloading and that interferes with the content.

IMHO they need to let the ads sit for a moment - not just continually revolve.

Yes, very slow here too!

Extremely slow!! When I'm on Fodor's I feel like I'm on dial up!

If it's taking way too long to pull up a post I hit the escape key and try again to open the thread. This usually works.

The Fodor's gerbil died.

Yes, slow here too. And I keep having to "refresh" the page to get the text to appear! I get only the logo and info at the top of the page, plus side-ads. Have to hit refresh at least every 4th - 5th thread I open. Aggravating!

Yes, slow to load no matter where I am getting a WifFi signal.

Slow here too.

it can't be the ads - I got rid of them ages ago.

some threads load really quickly, others take an age.

Your response made me laugh out loud, Big Al!

ann - I think the ads run in the background, even if you don't see them.

What you are laughing about Nuke, who do you think is running the tread wheel?

yep-horribly slow, like the old days with dial-up.

Drives me crazy - so slow that I often give up...

Only sometimes. Not particularly slow once on the site.

It also takes a long time after you hit the submit button. Sometimes I think it is a omen from the cyber gods not to post.

slow here also, and has been for quite some time now. It does not matter if I am on my laptop or my IPad using wifi. Google Chrome seems a hair faster than Internet Explorer but nothing to brag about.

SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. I MAY GIVE UP SOON.

Will using Google Chrome help? I have an old laptop and I swapped to Chrome after observing how well it works on my tablet. No I don't work for Google..... :))
