How long do MSE forum pages take to load on your mobile phone?

I'm talking via your home BB, not mobile data. 
It would be helpful to state what internet speed you get, and which model mobile phone you're on.
Also which browser you're using.

How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    At home, 500Mbps fibre, instant on Android phone (Galaxy S10+), Android tablet (Galaxy Tab S5) Windows desktop and laptop. 

    On WiFi in other locations generally close to instant, but certainly less than 2 seconds.

    When out and about if I use my phone it might take a bit longer is a poor signal area.

    I voted 5-6 seconds.
    When I first load the site it takes "longer" while the scripting and background images etc. load, but once that's done I can load a new thread in 5-6 seconds. Sometimes quicker.
