Page loading seems to be getting worse on all platforms...
Hi All,
Is this just me or is this getting to be a real PITA?
Over the past two years (I've been using the web for a many years) I've been noticing increasing difficulty in getting pages to load quickly and without lockups/hangs. This is happening very frequently for many different types of sites. I've been using Chrome and IE (11) on Win 7 and the default browser on my Android phone (Note III) and seeing the same symptoms. Frequent hangs, requiring restarts, are the norm. I've tried cache clears, temp file clears, etc. to no avail.
This is getting so frustrating. I just installed Win 10 (10162) on my laptop (above paragraph is with a high-powered work station and my phone) and both browsers behave in this manner. Some sites, CNN, and other sites heavily laden with adverts, are almost unusable.
Are these just my experiences or are you folks seeing the exact same thing? If so, how are you mitigating the freezes/hangs?
Thanks,
Alan
P.S. I have a high-speed connection, testing at 30+ Mbps download.
