Jezer.. I think the slow response is caused by data travelling across the Pond.... I'll use my computer expertise and say that.. with a web site that's here in the United States, the response will be a little slower...

The POTD is;

Websites that can't handle the volume.
I've found C-D to be slow quite often in the past several days. It's very frustrating. I wish they'd increase their bandwidth or whatever it is that makes a website go faster.

Good peeve, Jezer.

I haven't had too many problems with overcrowded websites, but my peeve today was going to the CNN website and trying to read a story, only to have the page keep jumping up and down as various ads kept loading.
^^^That must've been quite an exciting story...

Good peeve, CD is the squiggly one for me.

Lots of slow website issues in the US with people trying to sign up for the Affordable Care Act.
