Slow Loading
 
Why is TOTV so slow loading? I installed Adblock, it helped a little, but not nearly enough. is it because they run so many ads? I,m ready quit, it's too aggravating to wait so long each time I press a button.:grumpy:

Way too many ads and too many graphics...

Almost never a problem here. Wish I could help.

Same here.

I suggest you might want to try a different browser. I have found that Internet Explorer can sometimes be slow to load on almost any site, but I usually use Firefox and TOTV loads fairly quickly.

Still Slow

Thanks for the reply, I'm using Google Chrome with Windows 10. No I.E. for me, nothing but problems,

Yes, IE is a non-starter. Use Firefox.

I have Chrome.
No problem here.

Polar Bear 05-12-2016 07:53 PM

Another (long-time) Chrome user here. No problems.

We do not experience these issues either. We also would suggest trying a different web browser. If we can help let us know.

I agree. Performance with IE is terrible and not much better with Google Chrome. Don't tell me it's my computer because I virtually fly to all other websites. Just sayin!

If slow access is because of ads consider those ads are what enables the TOTV to function. Pandora offers ad free service for a monthly fee. If you would you be willing to pay a monthly fee for TOTV for ad free access, maybe you should mention that to administrator.

No problem with Chrome here. It's your computer.

Come on...you know you asked for that. :)

I was finding TOTV to be very slow to load almost since I joined it several months ago. I was using Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 and Microsoft Edge and sometimes Google Chrome. I kind of got away from Edge because the "back" button doesn't seem to work with TOTV. I figured TOTV was a very casually run site with minimal funding and probably being run on slow hardware.

Starting a few weeks ago, I've noticed the site loading a LOT faster under both IE10 and Chrome. The difference was so noticeable that I figured the good folks at TOTV had bought a new server or something. Since it's improved for me on both browsers, I haven't been thinking of it as a software problem (other than the Edge/backspace thing) and thus nothing a different browser would fix.

Very Very slow for me too. I am using IE but do not have any problems on any other sites an I am a heavy user. It is not my computer. Most times I get TOTV is not responding and it has to reload.
