It is not my computer or the internet provider as TOTV is the only site I experience this.

Any others?

I had similar problems for a number of weeks where the most notable was when opening the smilies popup window here on TOTV. It could take more than a minute before it would open and even didn't open at all.

I had searched for a solution on a number of times and the only thing that came close to a remote possibility involved questionable solutions even involving making changes in the registry, which I try to avoid like the plague. Like you, I too thought it might have been the site although a few of the problems showed up elsewhere, which didn't really surprise me.

I finally spent a morning a few days ago going through as many maintainces routines I could think of, things like deleting temporary files, cleaning the registry, (CC Cleaner) defragging, Malware cleaning (Malwarebytes) and other measures I can't even remember. When I got done I learned that it was my computer after all that accounted for most of the problems, and thankfully my popup was now loading right away!

I'm not saying that this would be a solution to your problem, but it doesn't hurt to try doing similar, matter of fact it should make at least some improvements in the health of your operating system.
