It's been happening a while but seems to be getting even worse lately, opening the front page of this site can take a very long time.
from what I can tell, it often seems the holdup is google-analytics related code and waiting for social media sites to return data for their links (with counters?)
Seems at its worst during the day when all those over-used social media sites are very busy.

Once into the CR forum section, stuff loads pretty quickly, even with graphics.

I doubt any of this is going away... I'll either be skipping the front page or looking for a browser plugin to block all that 3rd party code from trying to load.

Try downloading and installing an "add blocker", I have one installed and it works on all my browsers, well worth it as long as you don't mind having add free Browsing.

I dont know if it'll help your situation, but worth trying, my CR Front page seems to load quite fast.

none of the CR domain code is slow,
it's just google (adsense and G+), twitter, facebook, (gurble?!?) and a smattering of other domains that get (multi-?) referred to by whatever I haven't had the patience to track.

By the time some of these things get resolved the sun has moved perceptibly across the sky when I try to access from work - I've had loads take nearly 3 minutes or even time out.
At home I'm on a feed that's got great burst BW and Mb+/s sustained thru-put. Page loads reasonably well but all the non-CR domains are still fairly slow to load.

Yup, maybe a new adblock plugin is needed, and custom block everything else. Hmmm... maybe my ISP is traffic-shaping some of that junk.

edit: anyone else on this part of the continent having load speed issues? (AB, BC, WA, ID, MT, AK)
edit 2: yup, with some updated ad, script, and track blocker plugins CR front page loads super fast.

Canon Rumors loads almost instantly on my iPad and on my Win 8.1 PC. I have a 116Mbit/s internet connection and a HP Z800 Dual CPU workstation.

If CR is loading slowly, I suspect the issue is most likely related to your internet connection speed foremost, PC speed cold be a secondary issue causing the delay. Though unless your PC is ancient (6+ years old), I suspect the hardware will not be the issue.
