Why is the website so slow

Windows 10, Windows 7, iOS11, iOS9  - I’ve got em all and they’re all slow.

I think it’s faring a bit better today than yesterday - so far.

I'm using a new-ish iMac running iOS10 with a good solid broadband connection but this site is the slowest of any I use regularly - and it seems to have got worse over the last few days.  It's just barely acceptable at 6 a.m. but as the day progresses, it just gets slower and slower and keeps throwing up page-load errors.  Totally frustrating.

Ditto...iMac 27" running High Sierra with HS Virgin fibre....like waiting for paint to set on this site.

and for someone in customer services to say to a previous post that his Windows 10 could be the problem...says everything about EG..

Relocate to Yorkshire..

I'm  finding the website very slow the last few days, it seems to hang for ages before doing anything. I know its not our broadband as every other site I use works fine. Bit off putting trying to anything on here.

I think the club is winning the day going by the lack of activity lately on here and will eventually just do away with CT. Just been away for 2 weeks due to a family bereavement so had little time for coming on here but when I tried I always gave up after a few minutes of watching paint dry.

just do away with CT.

Weatherspoons have recently announced a complete withdrawal from social media, it was taking up too much management time.....

An organisation I used to work for wasted goodness knows how much staff time tweeting, twittering, faceing etc...

And the CC has to deploy paid staff to break up the constant bickering on here......

Does any of it sell more site nights or contribute to the bottom line......?

I very very much doubt it. You are probably right Phil, it would make both common sense & good business sense.....

 They are strongly promoting their CMC facebook alternative, perhaps they have finally given up on CT and will use that resource to speed up their main site.

Given recent revelations, is anyone going to be wildly enthusiastic about using Facebook? Facebook's platform is NOT an online forum and is not a replacement for the format enjoyed, albeit at a poor level, here.

Having just spent a couple of days planning and booking sites for a one month trip I can confirm that this is the slowest site I visit. That's a shame as it does discourage using it, especially as there are several alternatives.

I have checked the CMC Facebook site and am not enthralled by what I found.

It is making me question my membership fee again, as apart from Mayday and access to CL sites I'm not getting much return on it. 

I don't really have an issue with the speed of the booking part of the site. Just with CT.☹️ Even on mini frenzy day it generally behaved itself. I have just called up a site and progressed to booking and the pages came up within a second or so. However, if I go into discussions and call one up I am currently getting 10 to 15 seconds delay. That lately is good, as often it times out.
