Thanks, but not mac.

If you open a free Vimeo account you can use the Vimeo desktop app to record your screen. There are also a bunch of other apps you can download but they usually carry adverts. I use the Vimeo one or one called Screen Recorder but the Vimeo is better.

Hi again,

I'm still experiencing the issue with the arrows and the site is loading very slowly, to the point of frustration and giving up on waiting for photos to display.

Would clearing the cache for the site help with that?

What you want to clear is the browser data... i.e. the "temporary cached files and pages" (as they call it in FireFox). You can safely do this for all websites. All it does is cause the browser to reload all data that displays a website, such as the graphics, etc., on your next visit to a website.

Please will you tell me how to do it. I've googled but I can't follow the instructions. I can't afford to make a mistake.

I am finding the site unpleasant to deal with at the moment because it is so slow.

What browser are you using?

What browser are you using?

Chrome. I've tried two methods to remove cache. The first is to look for a lock icon in the URL bar but I couldn't find that. The second was to go into Chrome settings and look for site specific data, but I don't seem to be given that option.

Sorry, I'm not a Chrome user. I've used FireFox pretty much exclusively for a very long time. Why not install it and give it a shot? Very easy to install. Great browser.

Thank you. I've used Firefox in the past. It's not my jam. Most of the website hosts ask me to use Chrome.

Suddenly the site is working at normal speed again so Idk.

Do you mean the websites that you visit actually say that they work best with Chrome? FireFox is universally accepted and is a very high quality browser. I've never encountered a website that complains about FireFox and asks specifically for Chrome... in decades.

Sometimes this website does work slowly.

Here is a video demo of the site loading sluggishly. It's not too bad until the end of the video, when photos don't load.

Yes, specifically the print on demand websites. I don't just "visit" the sites. I am uploading content for print and managing online shops.

FireFox is universally accepted and is a very high quality browser.

I know that. I changed to Firefox for some time back in the day.

The lag is insane at the moment. It comes and goes as you may see in the video.

Incidentally, the video link is private. Only we can see it. It's not published online. I emphasize that for privacy!

Chrome Win11 - Ctrl+H to get to history
Click Clear History, then in the dialog box that comes up, untick the Cookies box
This will clear search & browsing history only, ie pages with old CSS/JS embedded, forcing a fresh download
Hope that helps

Thanks Roy. I am unhappy to do that, as it is a universal action and will effect all sites I use.

OK - the other way is to go to History, search for '420' so you have a list of all cached 420mag pages
Tick the top one then on the right side menu, click 'remove'
That will select and remove only 420mag pages, nothing else
It will not affect any other pages or cookies

Roy am I missing something? I removed the top one but all the rest remain there and I have to go through each one manually. This is not fun and I am getting very irritated with this site!

Hit Ctrl+A to select all of the list - that should work
Don't go to the end of that line and use remove, hit the 'Delete' button above the list, top right

Hmm, I'd rather not log into Vimeo.

Yes, specifically the print on demand websites. I don't just "visit" the sites. I am uploading content for print and managing online shops.

OK. "Visit" is just a technical term that means you "go to the website" with your browser.

I believe you. What kind of internet connection are you on?

I wasn't sure.

I've narrowed it down to the early hours of my day. I think the traffic to the site is higher at those times. It's when America is awake.

Thanks!

Thanks you guys. It seems to happen at certain times of day I have noticed.

That's good speed. Who is your internet provider? Are you on cable broadband? Anybody else sharing your connection (in your house, etc.)?

It's fiber and there's nobody else in the household. I've definitely narrowed the lag down to time of day. In a few hours when the American traffic goes to sleep, the site speed will be back to normal.

The disappearing arrows just happened to me again. I had posted to a thread. Immediately afterward, no arrows. I reloaded the page and the arrows were back.
