Page loading is discouraging/frusterating

Pages hang in the loading so-o-o long it's quite off putting. Much of the time, after serious waiting, there will be a message: the server has too much traffic or something...try later. What's the deal? Are we overrun with AI bots mining for information/sources creating the traffic jam, or what?

 If the page does happen to load or a log in actually occurs, the next selected topic window is sure to processi in a similar fashion, ...s-l-o-w and maybe.

Using a safari browser version 18.6 on a Mac OS 15.6.1 if that has anything to do with it.

Thinking, I have a lot of tolerance, and I get close to clicking away. Figure a lot of folks may have not near that amount of tolerance toward the loading 'problems' and just leave, what a loss! Probably we lose incoming experiential expertise, and outgoing, the opportunity to share that what we have to share.

Might be it got better for a minute and then back to the same old...  Are anyones working on it, or aware even of the problem, or has every one who knows about such things just clicked away to enjoy other sites?

Sweepbjames, I agree and have the same experience on a brand-new HP laptop with Windows 11 using Edge and also my 9-year-old Dell desktop with Windows 10 using Chrome.  The site is incredibly slow to load and often times out before loading even now in the middle of the night.  I am not having trouble with any other sites.  I also hope someone is aware and working on this.

Hey folks, thanks for reporting the slowness. Did this just start happening today? I've opened a ticket with our web host about this issue. I'll reply back when I have more news.

I have also noticed the slowness. It can be frustrating. Thanks for your attention to this issue, Noel.

It isn't only today. It's built up to this all this month. My suggestions as to what I think these problems are will be disclosed via PM (messaging services) to Idyllwild.

It's been happening for a while now. I thought I noticed a brief respite when you had posted your medlar query, for almost 15 minutes. I checkin mostly every day.
