Since a few days, we have been experiencing considerable (above 1 minute and 30 seconds) delay in loading LG connect URL and loading different topics.
Tried on 3 laptops - two of them with i7 and 8GB RAM
Tried on Pixelbook, i5
I have tried on Chrome, Firefox and Edge Browsers. The loading time may vary a little but all are unusable. Also, many possibilities like clearing cache etc. including re-installing of browsers were tired.
I am also experiencing delays in the loading of the Connect site, but sporadically.
While loading the site after a gap of say three to four hours, the program doesnāt respond almost up to a minute.
I purge that session through clear all (on my phone). Then that may load within a few seconds.
Nevertheless, once logged in, then the delay while switching the pages remains usual! (means the regular slow speed to which we are accustomed by now).
But, the huge delay in loading while starting a new session is something abnormal.
Anyhow, as suggested yesterday, please try the Google DNS 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 or any other faster ones known to you, If not done till now. That may cut down some delays.
The latency in loading the site is not new and is in the lag stage since months. I had sent feedback to developers and not yet received any response. So, since few months, Iām hardly accessing this local guides connect site. What started as an enthusiasm on this site, is slowly fading away with latency issues.
I installed Firefox on my android phone to check if that would improve response time. Loading Connect home after some time with no activity is 5-6 seconds. Other pages takes 3-4 seconds to show up.
That is the same delay I get in Chrome.
Much better than what you are getting, but still not optimal.
I too have noticed itās even slower than normal of late but have often wondered why Local Guides Connect is just generally slow to load at all times?
The format of the page is an odd one anyway and Iām really not sure itās the best way to encourage members to enter into multiple discussions and see older, non-promoted, content but why is it so slow?
Itās not connection specific, itās not browser specific or related to a particular platform, itās just a horribly slow page for some reason.
Is there too much effort trying to make the place look pretty instead of displaying the actual content we need to see? If you compare with the Google Maps Community page there is a huge difference in load speeds but still plenty of functionality. LGC just feels like a personal blog thatās got too big for the underlying tech and is becoming increasingly unbearable to use or follow / find content in.
