Internet Slow On One Website?

I have a good fast broadband connection but if i visit Argos it goes very very slowly, in fact it took 11 minutes to respond with the circle spinning around today.
I have done the usual, clear cookies cache etc without success, i used another browser and i still get this problem, i used a different internet provider and Argos is fast on any other connection so i know the problem is with my connection. I tried the DNS flush thing without success, i also visited Argos from a cashback site and google to see if it was the route i was taking however the problem still exists. My provider told the usual rubbish about stopping my antivirus etc but it makes no difference, Argos said it must be an internet problem but if i can visit any other website without any slow connection issues i just don't get why one specific website would be slow?

    Switch your router off, leave it ten minutes, switch it on again.
  • Could be a cache problem - have you tried clearing your cached files or accessing via a different web browser or device?

    Which browser? Try adding the uBlock Origin extension.

    The Argos website loads fine for me. (Yes, I do use that extension).
