… when there is more than 30 unread or new messages. Opening a topic is quick, but when going back to “unread” (or “new”) it takes a long time for discourse to refresh. When messages are less than 30 everything is as smooth as usual. It’s been like this for a couple of weeks already.

Hi Philip - I haven’t seen that around here.
I forgot to mention: OS X (10.14.2), Safari (Dark Mode - if that matters).
Philip
Nobody else seeing this on OS X? The ‘slowness’ is really annoying! Please fix it! Is @sam the right person here…?
Philip
hi @Philip it most likely has to do with your history being cluttered up. safari has become a peace of garbage in the last decade. if you clean up your history it might respond far better again.
Hi and thanks! I tried that, but it unfortunately didn’t make any difference at all.
Philip
I have no speed trouble on OSX with FireFox Nightly.
Did you try with Safari (and there need to be more than 30 new or unread messages for the problem to show…)?
Philip
No, I don’t use Safari as I have all my tabs and bookmarks synced between all the devices on which I use FireFox (Android, Windows, OSX, Linux).
@Philip you’ve tried this?

Or take @nathanletwory lead and try Firefox. I’ve got FF synced across multiple desktop and mobile devices/OSes too. Nice feature. A FF test might be worth the effort as process of elimination.
I would rather not install new software that I don’t “need.” I try to keep my machines as ‘clean’ as possible - and I don’t have any Windows or Android hardware (I used Windows for over 25 years and, to be honest, I’m totally fed up with MS, but that’s of course another story 
).
I have this same problem on two different (quite new) Mac’s - I can’t believe that nobody else is using Safari / seeing the problem.
If I would try FF and everything would work - what would that mean / proof? That Safari isn’t “allowed” on discourse…? @sam
Philip
Oops, sorry, I didn’t see that link. I’ll try…
Philip
I only use safari but I’ve never had that issue, though I’ve been running os Sierra until yesterday. I’ll let you know if I encounter any issues on Mojave
Thanks!
Philip
No problems on 10.13.6 with safari 12.0.2
I have 96 new. I’ve tried going back to new by clicking ‘back’ and via the keyboard shortcuts - seems quick enough
Me as well, though I do find it useful to keep 3 browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) on my Macs, but to each is own.
The purpose of the second browser, in your case, is to try and confirm that there is a Safari issue, especially considering that you have two boxes doing the same thing.
Ok, thanks!
Yes, I guess my first explanation wasn’t precise enough… going back to ‘unread’ or ‘new’ is quick and smooth - but when clicking on a new post in the lists I get a delay of about 8…10 seconds before the new post opens.
Philip
I think it probably is a problem with Safari (and my Mac’s) as nobody else is having the same symptoms. So instead of installing FF I guess I’ll first try the link you posted. I’m a bit reluctant to do that, though… It would mean a bit of work (passwords, configuration, etc).
Anyway… Thanks for the advice and the link!
Philip
Hi @Philip I just tested clicking on “unread” and clicking one of those posts, no problem so far under Mojave. So this might be a “cache” issue…
Ok, thanks!
Philip
