why has it become so slow to load?

    I love WordPress, but lately it seems as if it has slowed way down on loading pages & stats since you changed the login page. I just wanted to let you know what the user is experiencing. It is happening across the board for me on every computer I use, so I really don’t think its my computers, connections, or user error. :)

    I am not experiencing this.

    (1) How are are connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com?

    I’m asking because the way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Also note that the main dashboard isn’t designed to work with touch devices through the tablet and smartphone browsers.

    (2) Exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you don’t know click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/
    Note: If you are running IE9 in compatibility mode then be aware that it renders as IE7 and IE7 is not supported.

    (3) Have you tried?
    clearing your browser cache and cookies > http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
    using the browser with all extensions or add-ons disabled
    updating the browser to the latest stable version (not a buggy BETA browser version) http://browsehappy.com/

    (4) Are you logging in using the secure https:// log-in? see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

    I know it’s not my connections, because all other sites I visit are loading normally. My browsers were all up to date (both Mac and PC). I tried the cache and cookie dump, not much change. I am switching to the secure connection and seeing change for all loading except for the stats page now.

    Are you running any browser add-ons or extensions such as Ghostery, DNT (do not track)? To view your stats try disabling all your browser add-ons and extensions.

    Nope, no add-ons. I shut down and restarted after the cleaning and adding the secure connection and it seems to be doing better. You have been a big help. I think switching was the key. Thanks again :)
