Coachrowsey and
Dovster: I haven't noticed any slowness this morning or tonight, except for an occasional connection problem on the auto-reloaded (by my browser settings) index pages, and some exceptionally long delays from the ad servers (which I can tell by the bottom of my browser, which tells me the URL that is loading when there are delays).
Are you using the paid, ad-free version or the regular, free version (like I'm using)? I know it's frustrating when the pages take a long time to load, but it's important to know if it's FT's servers or the ad servers.

Dovster, I don't have the answer for you. I am not techie at all, so I can't even suggest you anything useful.
Are you using the freebie version (like me) or the ad-free version? I don't even know if that would make any difference. But I recalled a while back, the way IB was loading the ad/banners had been a problem for us using the freebie version. But it hasn't been an issue for me for a long time.
Are you using IE or Firefox? I switched from IE to Firefox a couple of months ago. I think FT performs much better in Firefox.
The only thing I do know is, if FT is indeed the only site you have this slowness problem, you need to give the tech people as much details/descriptions as possible in terms of the setting of your computers, the OS, browser, firewalls, anti-virus, ad-blocker programs you are using...etc, since something is interfering the normal loading of FT
in your computer, (speaking from the experiences that FT is loading fine for me and other FTers).
I would include internet connection type and speed to
lin821's list, above. I'd also suggest using Firefox over IE, but whatever one being used when there's a problem, opening the other and comparing the performance of the two can also help isolating the problems, as well as all the above listed items.
