Autotrader - problem loading page

Tomsk · 3 Jun 2018 at 17:20

Sometimes pages load normally, but more often than not I'll get - 'Secure connection failed'
Hitting F5 will eventually load the page.

I'm using Firefox. Adblocker ulitimate enabled & diasbled makes no diference.

WIth Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer I can't even log in to Autotrader.

Anyone else having this problem?

yes autotrader is an even more bloated website -
it was not loading completely, i wondered if gdpr and additional new cookie acceptance overlay is responsible,
had to temporarily lift adblocker in ff, until i establish minimal set of sites it needs to work without unnecessary frills/advertising junk.

Working OK in Chrome, Edge and IE now - my password was wrong.

However when browsing through pictures, each picture is added to the browser history. This means that after ESCapinging out of the pictures, going BACK using mouse or keyboard goes back through the poicture hsitory one by one.
In FF (when it works), going BACK takes me back to the search results with just one press.

Yep, I get this intermittently as well, particularly when using Firefox and replicatable on several machines. I normally just hammer F5 and the page eventually loads.
