Marketplace Lag

[Mistary Sandalwood]

Why would my marketplace start loading so slowly? For past 6 months it responds so slowly I don't like to shop here anymore!

I have a very fast computer and amazing internet speeds. SL does not lag but MP does!

I have never heard of anybody having that problem. You could try a different web browser. Common advice is to keep away from Microsoft browsers.

MP isnt lagging... its sometimes just slow.

For me it worked fine today, might be somewhere between you and the servers...

If you are using internet explorer, maybe Edge, to browse the marketplace, this may be the reason.

 

I had the same problem and changed my browser to Opera, although I think other browsers also work without problem.

Microsoft has single handedly made both Internet Explorer 11 & Edge useless for accessing the Second Life Market Place [as well as a few other older search enabled websites]. This started at the end of 2015 after a series of non-removable patch maintenance fixes. The issue seems to be related to the ability of the browser(s) to match a response transaction from SL Servers to any particular pending Search request. The effect is what most experienice as a endless wait for the page to update with requested search results ir to display results when it occasionally works.

This is an issue for IE11 on Windows 7, Windows 8.0 & Windows 10.

I have been researching this for a year and tested all Microsoft posted solutions with no positive results whatsoever. The blame keeps on shifting in the various soultion sets offered yet nothing ever changes. Worse yet, IE11 & edge as a close 2nd is not the most "Hanging" Internet Browser in history.

I do this testing on an all 100% Microsoft PC using only Microsoft software with no additional "Blamed" Anti-virus / anti-malware software on it.

Sad t say I must finally agree with many of my SL Answers brothers & sisters that IE is all but dead.
