@dhtaylor No, do not add caching plugin to an already cached site.

NO caching for wpForo.

REMOVE that "batcache" from your wpForo page.

@dimalifragis I actually do not have a cache inside Wordpress at this time. And, Wordpress hosts my site. I will see if there is a cache system I can add to the site internally.

Thank you for the information

@itesla Thank you for this. I will work on this later and add that plugin. Also, I am using an Apple with Safari browser. Not the best browser on the planet; I am aware. But, still there are issues that appear to be beyond just the ads and browser.

I have test your website, it loads normally, i use windows system PC with Brave browser.
Did a test by inspect element, to fully load by blocking ads it took 6.23sec but with ads goes over 30sec to fully load, can be too many ads reason, not sure.

I suggest you install WP Optimize plugin to speed the website up more, then test wit GTmetrix to compare before/after.
This plugin was one of the best to improve my website performance, tested from around 5 popular plugins.

Also might be something on your local computer Browser issue.
Did you try reset browser settings and cache or reinstall/update it?

As a side note the layout is too small for wide screens.

@dimalifragis how do I do this?

Looks like a caching something, it is either a plugin or your hoster.

Not sure what exactly batcache is and from where it comes from.

@chris

I am using the Ads Manager. There must be something going on with that as it is generating the requests (or, allowing this to occur).
is there anything that anyone can do for this or, should I post a banner somewhere stating that if there is a browser issue, switch browsers?

Hi @dhtaylor,

Your website works normal when we check it, it's not using so much memory, try checking your website with another browser and another computer. We see that there are lost of AdSense requests to other external links.

Also check Site Health from Dashboard > Tool > Site Health Admin Page.

And 10.97mb page weight plus 450 script requests page load = 13.68s + 62 browser warnings (FF)

This is a very very long list of forums you have. Not what a forum should be. Just an advice.

Also this:

must be removed.
