A member reported that pages sometimes reload while being read and that the site feels slower than other sites, using an iPad on a fast Wi-Fi connection and without ad blockers. They wondered whether ads or a new ad partner might be contributing to the problem.

Several members said they were not seeing slow loading or page reloads on Windows, Android, home fiber, or mobile hotspot connections, though some noted they do not see ads as RV LIFE members. One member tested an account that sees...

I get part way through reading a page, then the page reloads. Rather frustrating. Doesn’t happen every time, but enough to be quite noticeable (1 out of 10 maybe)? The site is also loading much slower than other sites. I am on an iPad 10, running IOS 26.5, wifi connection that shows 400-500MBS as seen with a speed check running on the same iPad (wired connection to the router). Did you get some new ad partner that is doing weird things? I don’t have any ad removal add-ons.
 
I'm not seeing any issues using my Android mobile but I dont get the ads.

No problems here either (windows 11 PC on good wifi) , but as an RVLife member I don't see ads.

It's also possible your particular location has an awkward path to reach the server that handles our site. Your traffic may be passing thru an unusually busy node and thus see interference that others do not. Let's see what others may say...
 
Like Gary, I don't see ads, but don't see 'slow' issues on my Win 11 PC with the Firefox browser. Same with my Android tablet. Not sure why the page reloads, but Gary may have a good point. I'll try logging-in with another account that sees ads.

Like my staff account, this alternate account loads almost instantaneously. Haven't yet seen any page re-loading, but I'll use it for a while longer. Later I'll try using a mobile connection to see if there's any difference. Meanwhile, I haven't seen any other complaints.
 
Not a forum issue but Musk is saying they are going to over charge Starlink customers cause he's got too many of them bogging down the system. (I translated a bit)
