Does anyone else have huge stuttering problems trying to use Amazon.com on an iPhone 6s Plus? This started a few weeks ago for me and it's not even usable. I was forced to download the app. For some reason I prefer the website to the app. I try to scroll down on the app and it take a second or more to catch up with my scrolling. I've restarted, restored and neither has helped.

Oh and my home button is "crunchy" too. I think debris gets stuck in there. I blow on it and it's fine for a few minutes then back to crunchy.
 
I am having that exact issue with my iPad mini 4. I wrote to them and told them about the issue, but they got back to me saying they hasn't heard any reports of it and couldn't reproduce it themselves...hmm. I'm not having this issue at all on my rMBP 15" or my iPhone 6s; Amazon works beautifully on those devices. Literally just my iPad. I have Purify installed on both my iPhone and iPad but haven't noticed this issue with any other website on either. I was tinkering around with Purify on my iPad and when I enabled "block scripts," Amazon suddenly worked perfectly, but other websites were broken. Thought that was interesting though. Does anyone know of any way (or any content blocker) that can block scripts for just a single website?
 
Are you using an ad blocker ?
I had a problem similar to yours and when I switched ad blockers it went away

Try Adguard instead of purify

Thanks for this suggestion - I just tried Adguard and it seems to be working. No stuttering issues on Amazon so far! I also haven't noticed any issues with other sites. :)
