    Some threads seem to be worse than others for it. OTOH maybe it's just my new phone

    It's so good that the homeless are having their voices heard

    only on your phone? Any particular threads?

    Site performance is a goal so if it's reproducible I'd like to take a look at it.

    First guess would be maybe threads with a lot of youtube embeds because that's about the heaviest thing you can but on the site, but it shouldn't block the thread actually rendering.

    It used to happen a lot like a year ago, haven’t noticed any since I started posting again

    I thought that maybe others were having the issue, but I've been noticing my internet feels kinda slow a lot lately, especially on mobile/4G connections. I'll try to nail down and reproduce the issue if it reoccurs.

    I have never had the issue with loading threads but sometimes youtube videos take 5 to 10 seconds to show up on my screen. Sometimes.

    Actually I had noticed that. Especially if there’s more than one

    Yeah, it's the YouTube video embeds.

    It shouldn't effect it at all since until the static image is clicked the player doesn't load.

    No it isn't.

    after a few hours my phone rins out of memory and every click/scroll will be delayed by as much as 7 seconds.

    try restarting your browser and see if it persists.

    When my phone runs out of juice it's time to recharge

    No it isn't.

    Except it's not just a static image, loading a thread with a youtube video ends up making 16 more requests if you have video embedding off vs. on. It loads up an iframe, that has a static picture in it, plus a bunch of JS and tracking BS.
