Mark,
I have just posted a complain/ a report in Japanese Forum about the speed to open LingQ Home.
After I open my browser, and click my LingQ bookmark. Today it takes 4 minutes to open my LingQ homepage. I usually use ADSL 50M and I can surf the internet without any stress. However every time when I come to LingQ site, it takes long time to reach here.
Some other Japanese users reported about it and Steve responded it. I know you have a lot of things to do now. I hesitated to say about this, because you are busy to fix many problems.
As a fan of LingQ, it’s time to say about it. Now I cannot recommend my friends to use LingQ, because it takes long long time to reach to LingQ. They probably to give it up.
