Web site goes slow randomly (2 Viewers)

[CyberSimian]

For the last two or three days, the MP web site will "go slow" randomly. That is, I click on a link, but the page will take a long time to load or never load (I run out of patience and close Firefox). At the same time, other web sites load immediately (e.g. www.bbc.co.uk), so I don't think that this is a problem with my system or my internet connection.

can confirm it, there are some random connection issues atm. Working on it.

I meant to add this earlier, but the web site went slow.
On one occasion when I was waiting for a page to load, Firefox showed in the lower left corner the string:

Read t1.gstatic.com

I am guessing that this is one of those web sites that serves up advertisements (i.e. the ones that pay for the MP web site), and that there is some problem with it. (I thought that I would mention this just in case you had not yet identified the source of the slow down.)

I found this page that describes what gstatic.com does.

thanks but it is a local routing issue with external (IPv6-)content (like Google). I disabled IPv6 for the moment and wait for some feedback from hosting company.
