I've been having problems loading pages on Freerepublic for over a week. I thought it was just my connection (I live in the sticks and use a my-fi ATT hotspot for all my internet.
However, I have the exact same problem at my work computer in downtown Louisville on a high speed corporate network.
The problem manifests itself at least two ways: 1. Pages take so long to load that they timeout and I get a "page reset" message. 2. A partial page loads (often just the first line or two) and then eventually the rest starts showing up in chunks.
Nothing else on the internet in either location hs having any such (or similar) problem.
On a side note. If I log out and just view anonymously, I get to see the first part of the article under the title. But when I log in, I only see titles. This became the default a couple of months ago and when I go to the page to change my settings, no option is given to do so. Just a bunch of darkly colored horizontal bars that look like "partially loaded" buttons with no label.
Anybody else having these problems

https://www.brightfort.com/mrublaster.html
www.bleach bit.org/download
These three programs will keep the cookies, history caches and temp files from building up on your PC. ccleaner and mrublaster, use before shutting down at night. bleach bit use once a month.
I just ran a speed test and the result showed download = 113.89 Mbps.
I have no idea what constitutes 'really fast' these days.
That’s when it started for me, too.
It’s better today; yesterday was particularly bad.
Not having any issues anywhere else on the web.
