Computers Tech question: Slow loading websites

Zebedee DuBois · 03-31-2023, 10:28 AM

I have a several, but not all, websites that load very slowly - and it is sort of predictable.

For instance, being a sports fan, I have bookmarks for both ESPN.com and CBSsports.com.
CBSsports will load in under a second. Always
ESPN can take 30 seconds to load. It varies in time but is always noticeable.

Also, when people here on CP post videos, some of them take several seconds to load. I scroll the thread and wonder why so and so posted an empty post and a few seconds later a youtube or other video appears.

I am on a MacBook Pro, M1 chip and using Safari with DuckDuckGo as the search engine. The only extensions I have on Safari are the DuckDuckGo ones. OS and softwares are up to date. I sporadically run AVG virus checks which show no malware.

Why is this happening and can it be corrected? Thankyou in advance.
