Yes, for several days. And it's not my computer. I've got 4 other tabs open in my browser and they are all working fine. ICMag is the only one that does it.

i tried using a different browser and it's the same in IE. and if you know IE you know that it's gotta be something between me and the server or the server itself at this point. lol. i'll try my friends computer, i'm not expecting anything different since we're on the same network.

If you're not in Europe, where our servers live, it will be much slower for you (2-3 times slower depending upon your continent).

Also, at certain times of the day, the site gets very busy.

Different browsers can also take longer as well as different Internet connections.

If you use proxies, expect it to be slow all the time. Different proxies offer varying access speeds.

yeah i noticed during the time it was slow for me most other UK/european sites were slow too. that's when i knew it must be a router somewhere down the line.

You can also try using our mobile version, as it's got less data to transfer and is usually quicker.

Also try different browsers to see which works best. There seems to be a lot of difference.
 
This site is always ALWAYS super slow, no matter when I access it, which browser or computer I use. 30-45 seconds between page loads. Maybe their database needs some index tweaking.
 
Clearing cache was the first thing I tried. What should my DNS settings be? They are set to obtain them, which they get from my router, which has them set to the two my ISP instructed me to set up.
