Are your Modaco web pages slow to load?

[Guest trevor432990]

I recently upgraded my PC browser to Firefox 4 which seems reasonably fast but I noticed Modaco was being rather slow loading pages but I think I've found the solution so if you are having the same issue then here's what to do. In Firefox go to this download site and install the NoScript add-on to your browser then restart Firefox and things should speed up a little. It seems Modaco have switched on Skimlinks on the site and that does tend to slow things up a bit.

Presume there are similar addons/plugins for other browsers but I'm afraid I don't know what they are. Hope this is of some help to you. :unsure:

P.S. This fix works for earlier versions of FF as well

Thanks for the tip, will try it. The page loads awefull slow when I am in China and I see special "loading resources from skimlinks" or something like that for up to a minute.

If you care about speed, then Firefox might not be your best bet at all. It's all got a bit lardy in the last few releases. Chrome and IE beat it for sheer grunt. I use IE for the heavy lifting and Chrome for "browse and shoot".

Guess I've got used to Firefox and its add-ons which mean I can tweak it to how I want to run but if it does get too slow for me I shall definitely try some of the others out. Cheers.

Cheers for the tip bud...also on FF4 and could see the wee dialogue at the bottom re: the skim thing loading. Right pain in the you know what when the page wouldn't scroll...

Thanks for the tip, I will give it a try. I have also upgraded to Firefox 4 and noticed Modaco has been loading very slowly. I do not seem to have a similar problem with many other pages.
