The majority of my user base isn’t very tech savvy so I don’t think they’d be able to…
I guess we could disable the avatars and some extras on the mobile version, but would hate to remove those features for the users on modern mobile devices with fast connections.
I think this is probably the main problem we have. They try to load the site on an already slow public wifi and figure that something must be wrong with our site…
One of our users did say they were stuck on an < 2G connection for a couple of days and had to give up on the site, so this could be an option for those unfortunate times.
I think the ones that have been vocal about the slowness are on some older and/or low-end android devices.
We’re updating the site about once or twice every two weeks.
