Big thanks for that tip
Pleased to say that the home page is loading quickly now right from the start (having been VERY slow up to yesterday)...
Don't know what's changed but it's flying along today
Just noticed that the sponsored advertisments column on the right of the screen has gone, so the server with those ads, that wasn't responding/timing-out, may have been removed from the loop , as it were.
Kind regards,
Paul.
