    There doesn’t appear anywhere to put site feedback so I have posted here.
    The site seems to be getting slower and slower, far slower than any other comparable site I use. Pretty sure it’s not my end so was wondering what the issue is?
    It is beginning to get frustrating

    road.cc has been very slow to access for a few days now. From multiple clients. Seems to take a long time to find the road.cc home page, sometimes even times out.

    Yes it has been slow, also I don’t know if you run 2 or more servers but I’ve notice replication issues with user post when viewing on my mac then 10 min later on my phone, same story but comments are missing. But I’m not logged in on my phone so it might be that.

    On the plus side, I’ve practically given up visiting this site over the last few days – as a result my work productivity has massively increased.

    I have a ZTE Kis (admittedly, a barely-smartphone), but I find that out of the blogs and news sites I look at, road.cc makes the browser on it crash about half the time. I have to wait while it loads up every single ad and image, and then make sure no other images have loaded, then cross my fingers to start actually reading/scrolling down the page.

    Admins – do you have or are you considering a mobile-friendly version of road.cc?

    It’s not just you – exactly the same thing happens to me on my Note 3. I find it so annoying I rarely bother looking at this site from my phone now. I do wish that could be fixed, as I haven’t noticed anything similar on any other site I’ve visited.

    The site coding and hosting setup is significantly lacking in ‘stuff’ that speeds things up…

    Looking at the waterfall chart, some obvious fixes, like speeding up the connection to the /buynow/ image directory and the /theme/ images…

    Does seem slower than normal. Maybe because fantasy cycling has just started!

    The historical slowness has been on every page (as far I can tell) although that’s not to say it’s not got worse recently
