Why is this site so slow in WP IE? Honest question!

[mortici]

There are so many ads on this site and elements that its just horrible at loading on mobile IE (WP 8.1) both in desktop mode and mobile mode.

My Icon just chugs at loading the page, going from article to article to simple navigation is just terrible.

I know you guys have an app but seriously, even on the desktop sometimes it takes forever to load, not to mention the app is less than ideal and in most cases I would prefer to use IE to view this site than the app.

Is there any plans to optimize or at least reduce the load times to make the experience tolerable on a mobile device?

I can record a video to show how poor of a viewing experience this site is, surely you guys have tried going here on your WP devices....?

Honest feedback would be appreciated...

Blame MSFT.., Lol. But wait ads you are complaining about aren't even reverent to Windows on Phones. Dam Android, iOS and Google ads slow this site tremendously. I understand your frustration. Yes a quick fix is necessary.

It was also my problem when using the site and surprisingly the issue is only with WP8.1 IE, I do noticed that browsing in IOS and Android are perfectly smooth specially on IOS, if I were to rate the site I would rate it 4/10 and buggy(BUT ONLY IF BROWSING WITH WP's IE).

To the developers, please improve the app instead the site's issue is MS's fault from not implementing a better browser for WP 8.1

Check out WPU website, holy crap is it smooth both in Edge on my SP3 but on my WP8.1 device as well, super sleek and fast. Jesus, contact them and find out what they are using to render their site cause its gorgeous and smooth.

The menu button sucks but in landscape mode is freaking perfect.

The site runs like crap on Edge and WP8.1 haven't tried on W10, but if its Edge its probably gonna run like crap. I dunno if its the ads causing the slow performance or the site in general is just to heavy.
