Is it me/my browser or ...

is this site just getting slower by the day?

Refresh/changing threads can take up to 2 or 3 minutes!

I am using IE11

I was about to post the same thing. You can make a cup of tea in the time it takes to refresh now!

Yeah the mobile site is very slow as well, I even got a service unavailable message earlier.

We are having an incredibly slow day :-(

We are investigating. Sorry...

Following the trend for vinyl the WHF website is now analogue producing a 'back to the 90s dial-up modem feel'. Althoug this means more care and attention has to be given to page selection and a slower connection, dial-up enthusiasts point to the warmer feel of the site!

I've just installed Windows 10, and the WHF site is the first one that i have tried to access using this new operating system. The pages were taking minutes to open, so I was becoming concerned that Win 10, was the cause of the slow performance. Thank goodness it is WHF instead.

It as slow a s*** today, not much better on a good day tho is it tbh! I have posted similar in the "about the site" forum.

Yes, you can always rely on them 🙂

Perhaps they need to get someone who's into technology to have a look at it ;-)

Yup. Android slow too. Painful. Sometimes asks for a new logon too and rarely does my password work.

Take it from me the emails have been flying back and forth here. It seems to be worse for those of us who are permanently logged in. Apologies for the inconvenience, we are doing all we can to resolve this.

I believe the plumber has been called.

Update from the tech team:

Database server is out of the red for now, we have made some configuration changes to the way in which certain areas of the site access the database.
The improvement will be gradual, so the slowness won't disappear but in theory should improve over time over the course of the afternoon. Ops are still working on other improvements as well as the team to try and improve this even more.

A perspective.
