Has something changed in recent versions of Discourse that would impact page-loading?

Yep, it happens logged out as well and is pretty similar in safe-mode: (vid)

Here’s a vid (let me know if you need a different format/anything else)

The older versions I am using are quite a bit older (see below) and I’d say these issues may have started/worsened over a good few months according to the feedback we’ve received.

Some of the forums running older versions (where it doesn’t happen) are at:

  • 3.1.0.beta2
  • 2.8.0.beta7
  • 2.9.0.beta4

Please let me know if you need anything else!
