I'm sure it does but it may explain why you suffer from ' slowness ', that could be your age though ;)

I contributed to the other thread just after Christmas about the sudden slowness of this site. It was never resolved and I am still having the same problem. I use the up to date version of Chrome and still no improvement. I usually do something else on my laptop or tablet (solitaire, Wordle etc) while I wait for the page to load. I gave up commenting on it, so I'm glad someone else is carrying the torch!
Yes, I still have the same issue. It's slow for me whatever device or browser that I use, whether on wifi or using data.

I wonder, do you fastidiously keep your systems' software up to date ?

Still much slower than any other site on my desktop - has been for months. Not complaining, David, not your fault, but it's a bit frustrating.
