I'm wondering if anyone else is having a problem with the loading speed of pages here. It seems TG has incorporated a series of Google + pop ups on each page. Here is a screen shot showing what I mean. It appears just below the main menu bar on the top right of the screen:

These items slow down page loading and at times make my browsers crash (not responding). It happens in both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Katherine/Jameela...Is there anything that can be done about this? This feature is ruining my experience here.

Hi Bill, I don't seem to have a problem with page loadings. I have a 7 year old laptop running windows 10 and chrome. Perhaps try clearing cookies and cache and maybe running ccleaner (to free space and check your registry).

Thanks Daryl. I'll try that and let you know what happens.

Thanks Daryl,
I cleared cookies, browsing data, cache and history and that has helped a great deal with the speed. Google + is still there and does slow things down but not nearly as much. I just wish I could opt out of that feature as I really don't care to use Facebook messenger, like, share, tweet and all that other stuff. If and when I want to I just go to my Facebook page. Oh well, waddayagonna do? :)

I agree. I don't share or tweet or IM or any of that stuff either.

This is a message for Jameela and Katherine regarding my previous post. The Google Plus feature on this website definitely slow down my loading time. I have only experienced this phenomenon at Totally Guitars. I am asking for you to look into this and fix the problem. i tried doing what Daryl suggested above and it worked for a very short time. I would like to see this feature removed if at all possible.
Thank you in advance for your support.

It would be interesting to know how many times those buttons (google-plus, ~-send, facebook-likes, plus-share, tweet, and in-share) get clicked.
It looks like there have been 755 facebook likes.
I have never heard of in-share, plus-share, and ~-send.

Perhaps Bill, you should open up a support ticket because your post might not get read by Jameela or Katherine. Or you could send them and/or Neil a PM.

Daryl is right Bill, the forum is not the place for such issues. It may or may not be read by them. A support ticket will reach them for sure.

Thank you Daryl and Vanessa. I will try that instead. As far as the forum "not being the place for such issues", I don't get that because this thread is about website features, and many before me have posted on this thread regarding issues they are having at TG. Pardon me :(

Bill
