Just tested (from NZ) it loaded in 2 secs (with cache/cookies cleared), about 4-5 secs via US VPN. I would start with clearing cookies and cache, and trying in private mode (to ensure no other extensions aren’t causing issues)
that forum has been slow for years. And using a mobile browser makes it even slower. Very annoying and they have a LOT of adds build in.
It also opens quicker (a different page!) when you use Chrome (without add blocking etc)
I think it is intentionel from the XDA side.
I am using it from India and trust me it takes time to load only in brave. With chrome and firefox, it is opening so fast. My connection is kinda alright too. I posted this after with two browsers. There aren’t any extensions running along the brave when i wrote that report.
Try that with firefox. It isn’t that much slow, but when it comes to brave. It slow i really don’t know why. And there aren’t any extensions i am using at all while surfing internet with brave. Brave is running bare bones.
Admin for XDA here. I use Brave personally. It doesn’t seem to be taking that long to load (US, desktop).
When logged in, specifically if you have a lot of subscribed threads, the forum can take a while to render the page. Is there a difference in speed if you are logged in or logged out?
