This has started happening today, not noticed it before.

Latest IE, Windows 10.

This just happened again and reminded me that the dialogue box with the 'not responding' message also offers a clickable 'Recover web page' button that doesn't effect a recovery, just another message that the page didn't load.

Hey turbobloke,

We can't see any issues with the site at the moment, if it keeps happening though please let us know.

Sorry I can be of no further help right now...

OK thanks, and with perfect timing it happened with this reply!

Exactly the same as before.

Does it happen with Chrome or Edge? I've noticed odd behaviour with IE on a variety of sites.

Just IE. If nobody else with IE and Windows 10 is seeing it, this must be local...

The only time I ever get that error message on here is when I'm on my other laptop that isn't running an adblocker.

If you don't have an adblocker, then it will be due to Haymarket's preferred advert provider trying to serve 3 banner adverts (2 top of the page, 1 bottom of the page), and at least 1 curtain advert down the right hand side.

If you're really unlucky and all the adverts are high size / load, flash based ones, then that will lock up the page while they try to load. If the same crappy banner advert tries to load in at least 2, or sometimes all 3, of the banner ad locations that causes the increased page load times, and / or non response errors while the ads try to load.

Thanks. That makes sense, the problem only occurs on a device with no ad blocker.
