Hey everybody, we made ANOTHER change.
Please try on all your devices and let us know whether it helped, whether it made it worse, or whether it made no difference – on each one. Please also describe what issues, if any, you are seeing related to the front page or to individual posts loading.
I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON CHANGES SINCE MOST OF YOU REPORTED IMPROVEMENTS ON WEDNESDAY.
Is it better/ faster than it was after I made the change on Wednesday?
Worse/slower than it was after the change I made on Wednesday?
No change since Wednesday?
Please try from : 1) the front page AND 2) from within and individual post AND 3) from within an Anne Laurie COVID post.
Why yes, that is Henry’s head in Tucker’s mouth, why do you ask? This was from when Henry was a little fluff ball, and in spite of how it looks, and how it sounded, Tucker was very gentle with his new buddy.
Update: If your name is on the list below, I would appreciate it if you can get in touch with me to let me know whether you notice a change – for better or worse – compared to when you posted on the site update thread on Wednesday.
Please send email to my nym at balloon-juice.com – if you are willing to help with this, it will be much appreciated! ~WG

No issues, but I may not be your target audience – Firefox on a Windows 10 laptop.
Ruckus
Seems a bit faster on the iMac and the iPhone. Safari on both, all fully updated.
But other than that I can’t tell any difference. And it might just be my imagination.
Or the fact that something in our world actually works these days, which seems amazing.

@Ken: Thanks for reporting anyway! It’s mostly phones and tablets with the issues, but a few laptops, so every bit of information helps.

No noticeable change, everything works, Naked Browser on Android 10

Seems fine on an iPad, but it was reasonable before as well so can’t say I noticed much change.
Chacal Charles Calthrop
Seems fine on my iPhone but then I’ve never had any problems.
Betty
The Covid post loaded pretty slowly on my Kindle. Otherwise, seems fine.
crosspalms
Loads faster from front page on my iPad mini

People at #1-8:
I have since updated the post to be clear that I am asking how the site is behaving relative to how it has been since the first change I made on Wednesday. If there’s anything you want to clarify based on that information, please do so. thanks!
WaterGirl
@crosspalms: Faster than the past couple of weeks? Or faster than it was even after it got faster on Wednesday?

Can’t say I notice any difference on my phone or laptop since the Wednesday change, and then it was my experience using my phone improved. (One Plus 6T/Android 10)

I’ve got Firefox on a Win10 laptop, about the same as Ken, and everything looks A-okay. The only things that boter me about the site are the often wonky back button and editor. Any idea when those can get fixed?

The Covid update post still took about 10 seconds to load on Android with Chrome browser. Someone mentioned that it seemed to be waiting for the drop-down ads to start up, and I noticed that seems to be true (maybe just a coincidence). As soon as that ad came down and I minimized it, the tweets all loaded quickly. It’s not a big deal to me; I can wait 10 seconds. But just thought I’d mention it.

Seems to be working fine with FireFox on Windows 7.
The Twitter on AL’s post still taking too long to load with FireFox on Android 8. I get the twitter text, then it hangs.
ETA: faster on desktop. not sure about android 8.

Did not notice any changes on Wednesday. Arrived too late to notice any change today.
Chrome on a MacBookAir running Catalina 10.15.6

@Amir Khalid: What’s the issue with the editor?

Have not had any problems on my desktop, Windows 7 Pro with latest Firefox update. The covid posts on my Samsung Galaxy S9, latest Firefox, still loads slowly.
Brachiator
Seems okay. Pixel 4 XL phone. Brave browser

Tweet embeds still load slowly on Android phone. Better than the WAY back version, hard to tell if different from most recent change. It’s like a 10 second wait? Can you get app that times this?

Cleared the cache and loaded today’s Corona Virus post. No problems loading, Twitter images took less than 5 seconds to populate. My impression is this update has improved load time over the improvements from the previous update

I have not been clear enough in this post about the specific information I am looking for, so I am going to close comments on this post.
It may be best to get in touch with the people who reported noticing a change on Wednesday and check with them on whether they notice a change today, relative to that.
Thanks to everyone who replied.
