I have an Apple Mac Mini with a M2Pro Chip; 32 GB Memory; up to date Sonoma 14.2.1 OS. Should be smoking hot; right? But, when I go to Rupps Runts or Wildcat Lair, it bogs down to a crawl. No other sites; just this one. As an experiment, I cleared all my Website Data from Safari settings/Privacy. Then, dozens of sites stored data on my caches that can be used to track my browsing; without even opening another page; many sites re-appeared. I opened “Manage Website Data” again, without doing ANYTHING else, and 20 more sites stored data on my computer. When I clear the data, the forums work for a little while; then back to being bogged down, with more sites doing their tracking thing. Anyone else have this problem? I’ve never used anything but Safari for decades, and hope it’s not that; I’m an old dog that doesn’t like new tricks. Anyone have any suggestions? I hate to stop using this site, but this is really a problem. Thanks, and GBB!
Problems with this site or my computer?

Same here, except i’m on ipad. been this way for at least a month. like you said, i clear safari history and data—several times a day, depending on how much i’m on here—it’s fine for a short while then right back to running slow and randomly refreshing the page. other posters have complained about it in another thread.
PC with Chrome, it was sloooooow as hell yesterday
Having multiple video ads feed at the same time is probably what's doing it. You can be on a blazing machine but if it bogs down on the server end you get stuck. That'd be my guess. The rest is pretty plain and simple.
I guess that's really my point. After many years of getting most of my UK info from this site, I guess I'll have to give the others a good look. On3, 247Sports, Sea of Blue. ??? I have to say; no other place has so many fans posting about the Cats as this one. I hate to go, but every time I clear Caches, History and Website Data; I have to sign into EVERY site I use that requires a login; including having to get a text to "be sure it's you"; and so forth. Seems like by 2024 they would have this figured out. But, it's all driven by advertising, which includes tracking and such. I'm thinking about hiring a live-in techie, cook, cleaner, masseuse and yard care specialist; all rolled into one.
