I think it’s a provider issue. I had the same slowness this morning. Chrome on an iphone 6s. Wifi 50mbps. 5-10 seconds for any goc page. Cgn worked fine. I switched to cellular, and bam - full speed on goc

This is what I am experiencing as well. All other sites is click and there you are. Here I click and wait 10+ seconds to get to the forum I want. Click and wait another 10 seconds+ to get to the next page. Firefox is what I am on and the lagging happens here 24/7 and has done so since about the time the servers were changed/swapped/upgraded. My ebay is fine, other forums are fine, emails are fine, etc. Video streaming is very good as well.

After the big change up on the server I was getting slow response times. I cleared my browser cache and my cookies and everything was back to normal. I would also suggest flushing the DNS cache and see if that helps.

I doubt that DNS has anything to do with this, but ...
In Windows, run Command Prompt as an administrator, and then
ipconfig /flushdns
In everything {Windows, Mac, whatever},
reboot
will virtually certainly also flush the DNS.

Everything's much better today.
I typed in a long list of what was slow with timings for each kind of click into a post in Chuckbuster's recent thread 'site speed again', but you closed the thread and my post wouldn't post and I couldn't get the details back. I might have private messaged you then, but you said "please do not reopen it again" which lead me to wonder if there was a Denial Of Service or something going on you didn't want to talk about.
Good
1) https://gunownersofcanada.ca/
For weeks, this took 30 seconds to appear.
Today, it's instantanious.
2) "Unread private messages" / "Inbox", 17 seconds
But the mess that appeared the past few days seems to have been fixed. The menu is back.
3) when opening a thread via "Go to first new post" it has been taking 30 seconds,
but today it's under 4 seconds which is fine.
4) quoting messages works fast again (I quit quoting weeks ago, and started entering [ quote ] manually.). The Quick Reply box for the past couple of weeks took 15 seconds to appear even after the rest of the thread appeared, now it's there instantly. Several have commented that the Like button failed a lot.
ok
5) Http images have disappered. [ img ] only works with https images now.
bad
6) Attach image via file upload, doesn't work. No Browse button.
7) "Advanced Search" and "Single Search Content Type" tab within search, take 20 seconds each to appear, even when pushing the browser's BACK button.
A month ago "Single Search Content Type" was often so quick that sometimes I would wait for it to change and it would take me a few seconds to realize it must have changed in a tenth of a second and I missed the change happening it was so fast.
8) "What's new at GOC", Tab changes instantly, but body of page shows this
In Firefox, going to "about:cache" to get the cache file directory, and then going to File Explorer and deleting the contents of that directory ("Disk" "Storage disk location", i.e. the most thorough way to clear the cache), had no effect on resolving that.
I'm running Microsoft Edge most of the time, sometimes Firefox.
Firefox had reported the slowness was waiting for GunOwnersOfCanada.ca to respond, not some 3rd party image or website. CPU usage was negligible, so it wasn't a runaway script.
Ping gunownersofcanada.ca has always been under 10ms.
Traceroute was 10ms or less per hop.
Speedtest 45Mbps down, 11Mbps up.

Okay, an update on my particular issue: https://www.gunownersofcanada.ca/showthread.php?52115-Complaints-about-the-forum-being-slow&p=651137&viewfull=1#post651137
RangeBob was correct "flushing the DNS cache" had no effect on either Chrome or Opera.
Drache's suggestion to "cleared my browser cache and my cookies" also had no effect.
However, "Run 'N' Gun" and "Smc's" suggestion that it "Maybe it's linked to ISP providers?" may very well be correct because I have the problem at the office (Cogeco, cable) but not at home (Bell, fibe), both Chrome or Opera work fast and correctly at home.
It appears by boss is interfering with my leisure time

Speed is relative. It seems like only yesterday i was bumbling along in cyberspace with a blazing fast 36k modem...
I have no issues these days. Running shaw 150mbps at home and Chrome.
For the record, there are some compatibility issues between certain versions of chrome and skype that can cause a several hogging of resources and things to appear slow. Keep your softwares up to date.

Complete hit and miss here. And it seems regardless of the network I use. Must be something on your end. You dump your cache lately?

Funny. I haven't had slowness issues except solely with clicking Like. That used to be a split second thing now it is slow to the point of the entire page refresh after clicking Like being noticabable.
Another issue, is that it is hit and miss whether or not the toolbar is there or not when I click reply or start a new thread.
But speed? Never been a problem.
EDIT: my guess is the issues people have been having is related to GOC now being hosted on the LiteSpeed web server platform. I don't think it has enough history and market share to have its problems (as any software has) worked out. Personally I'd stick with Apache or nginx. I'd never heard of Lightspeed until I checked to see what GOC was running today, and I'm a full stack web developer by trade.

Just to be contrary, everything is working fine for me today using Chrome and Opera at work and at home... Must be Trump's fault!

It likely is Trumps fault!
But my wait of 10 seconds to load a new page is still frustrating me.
Cache dumping did nothing to fix the problem.

Did nothing for me also but my issues went away when I used a different provider, if you can do that by testing it at another location, home, office, friend's place, etc. it may shed some light on whether it is provider related. Just make sure it is another provider and not the same one at another location.

My home page looks like that also. Now, it seems that the lagging occurs only when I go back to the home page. From there, and within threads, things appear to be normal.

Same here with slowness for the past week+.
Doesn't matter what browser I try, IE, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera tried all of them, same results.
Cleared cache/cookies/etc, no help.
My speed (I have Gb internet)
Seeing this also when I click "What's new..."
And finally, trace route:
This site is the only site I visit that is slow/corrupted.
