The forums seem a bit slow and sluggish today

I've been dealing with performance issues the past couple of days. Even hitting like seems to take an inordinate amount of time.
Are all these issues on macOS or iOS (or another platform)?
I have to confess, I have MR up all day at work and at home every day
And while I don't post all that much any more, I do pull up threads and interact with the Forum quite a bit
And I haven't noticed ANY of the complaints others seem to have
I am using High Sierra on my MBA and Mojave on my MBP
Using Chrome as my browser
I don't connect from my phone
It baffles me every time I come here and read these complaints and I wonder why I am not experiencing them
Is MR the only site that is sluggish and slow or are any other Internet functions suffering as well?
Is it possible other factors are involved? ISP issues. Mobile connection issues?

Windows and ipadOS for me. Much of my work was done on MR yesterday morning and it was slow, then later in the afternoon while on my iPad I noticed similar issues.
...and it was worth every second.
Good to hear this, not least because while the forums have been slow - on and off - for a while, they were especially - and excruciatingly - slow today.
I still don't get it
No issues here today at all
Oh, and I even use NordVPN
Well, as you can see from the posts above, quite a number of us experienced the forum as unusually slow and sluggish today; anyway, I am very glad that this issue is being addressed.
I'm not denying an issue exists at all
Just wondering why it isn't universal and only affects some and not others
Yes, I have wondered about that, as well, but I will say that this is not a new issue; however, over the past two days, it has become a lot more pronounced.
And - just this evening - the forum has become tediously slow again. Slow to load pages, register "likes", or open alerts, and slow to post replies.
Slow forum again this morning, with 'post reply' actually timing out (a first) and a triple post as a consequence (another first) - since edited so that it is now a single post - in the 'sushi' thread.
The forums are excruciatingly slow today for some strange reason; indeed, at times, I have had to have two windows open at MR in order to open, read, or post, anything.
I notice you often have to deal with this issue - could it be something with your internet connection? I've had no problem today.
I've had slow stalls, but no complete crashes.
But still, it is a bit slow (and prone to stalling, hanging and freezing) at times, though a little less so today than earlier in the week.
