I'm finding Connaughts website very very slow to load. I've changed laptops and networks and the long load time is still a problem. Have any other users found this?

thanks.

Fine here, just tried it. Must be at your end.

Fine for me

NatJag · Tuesday August 11, 2020

Loads just fine for me as well. On a 2007 iMac.

... and I thought I was rocking it old-skool with a 2009 iMac.

But yes, Connaught's website is fine on a 2009 iMac, too. Latest Firefox.

I did have to replace the HD for a SSD.

Thanks for the comments its the only site I have problems with. Even fired up a Chromebook on 2 different networks with the same result.

Is the browser the common factor? Chrome? Try running it up in a guest session with no extensions.

I am on Chrome on a positively modern it seems 2011 Mac

Site loads fast enough..... very expensive though

Fine here, Chrome.

I'm Mac based here with a couple of Chromebooks I use for overseas travel. All have the same loading problem with this one site. I was up in Scotland yesterday and using two other seperate networks the Connaught site loaded instantly. At home I use Chrome and Firefox. By a process of elimintation I'd think it was a modem problem but my networks at home run through completely seperate router/modems. I know its only a shaving site but this anomaly intrigues me.

Depends who you're comparing them to. Don't forget TSR members can also get a 10% discount.

...only on orders over Â£50. Just ordered a 500ml bladder of Proraso Green for Â£10.50 delivered from La Barberia; the same product from Connaughts is Â£16.80 delivered. That said, Connaughts delivery speed, packaging and choice is excellent and sometimes they are the only UK stockist of certain products...

That's a seller I've not heard of until now, thanks. Another one for the bookmarks. Connaught seem to be cheaper than a very north based seller that has their own range of products as well.

Yeah, been really slow for me for several months. I do recall a time it wasn't slow (as recently as last year) and I've been using the same T420+Win10 since 2017.

The modern man Â£7.00 ( TSR discount doesn't apply under Â£50)

Connaughts Â£14.40
