Hi @Toby I use an up to date notebook. So hardware or software shouldn't be the problem.
I use Esotalk and so I compare Flarum with it. Speed, UI,...
At the moment initial page load takes a minute or more. Tested with notebook (lan) and mobile (wlan). Esotalk needs only a second 😉
But 1 minute is strange... Bug or server problem?
Load a topic needs 2-4 seconds.
