Hello,
I would like to get some help with my forum.
https://overthegalaxy.forumlt.com/
It is an old forum (created in 2008). The version is either phpBB2 or phpBB3.
The problem is that the home page started loading very slowly and I cannot find the reason for it. It lasted for a good while from a few years back. Recently, in the last two weeks it seemed to have fixed itself somehow, however yesterday it started again. Only the home page and category links load slowly. If you jump straight to the discussion forums it seems to be fine. I have tried deleting images, scripts, disabling widgets, even changing the skin to a temp one altogether but the problem persists. I have imported the current forum skin to a brand new test forum with all the java scripts, etc that are used and it works just fine.
Slow load happens on all browsers that I have tried to open the forum on (Firefox, Google Chrome, Edge) for guests, administrator and members altogether.
If anyone could point out the issue and maybe fix it if possible it'd be a great help. I am not a programmer so I have done everything I could think of from my end and I just cannot find where the problem lies.
