Lately this page takes forever to load on my phone. iPhone 15 on CSpire. Ot just sits there for 15-30 seconds and then loads quickly. Once I’m in it works fine. Is this my phone, CSpire or Safari? Anyone else having this issue? It’s annoying.

Just venmo some $ to @dawgstudent and put big screen in the notes
1- Next to receipe websites, this is the glitchiest website I have seen in years. It is barely less bloated with ads and videos than a receipe website, no joke.
On3 as a platform is exponentially shíttier than the old site. But I don't run this place so I just accept the enshitification.
2- It doesn't load probably half the time for me when I type 'on' and select the top result. I then type 'six' and it loads. Viceversa is true too- if it doesn't load when I type 'six', then I type 'on' and it loads.
3- I have an iPhone 13 and it works perfectly for every other website I visit.
4- No, I am not going to use the Brave browser. All websites should work on Chrome and I am not changing my browser just so one website will be less bad.

Yeah, I’m on a 16 pro, and this is one of two issues that I have. For the page not loading, no amount of refreshing or hitting the back button seems to ever work, so I just close the tab and reload the entire page from my bookmarks. After that, it works fine 9 times out of 10.
The other one I keep having is that I’ll be in the middle of typing a reply, and something suddenly happens in the background kinda like an automatic refresh. Whenever it does that, it saves everything I typed, but the reply button stops working. Refreshing the page doesn’t work nor does backing up and then coming back to it. The only thing that does work is copying my text, deleting it entirely, refresh the page, paste the text back in the reply box, and then hit reply.
Glfr won't like this, but I literally keep the Brave browser solely for surfing SPS.
The Brave search engine sucks azz, but the ad block feature makes this website run very smoothly on my Android (this may also matter) phone.

Me too. I rarely use Brave for anything else but it works perfectly for SPS. I did have to turn off the Adblocker that I previously installed trying to eliminate the adds using safari for Brave to function.
Initial thought here is that the CSpire DNS lookup is lagging. You could try the following steps to see if it still happens with Google or Cloudflare DNS.

I get the reply button issue a lot and it's usually when i have something really important and smart to say.

1 - Good point. Now that you say this I realize I get this with other websites too but it’s just for a second or so, not 30 seconds. I suspect it’s an issue with this website, Adblock and Safari. Sorry dawgstudent. I will gladly pay you directly whatever ad revenue I’m costing you, but I’m not running this site either ads.
When my phone is connected to wifi there is no delay. C Spire is choking data usage.
I get the reply issue whether i'm on verizon's network or wifi. Not all the time but it happens randomly with either internet connection.
