Out here in the sticks I have satellite broadband.
While not quite as fast to load pages as a direct wired, or fibre link, at least it's been reliable.

One thing puzzles me. Every website, bar one, loads a page as normal, with one left click on the mouse.
ONE website just sits doing nothing if I do that, but if I give it a double left click, it loads as normal.

At home on fibre optic VM, it only requires one click.

Can anyone explain in lay terms?

It's a slow page, you're just refreshing the load when you click it the second time and it seems faster because it still has bits from the first load. Load is a **** word.

Are you using a UK connection? If not you should, works great.

Don't know Jack, I'm with Europasat, a UK company?

Sounds like awful slow dns lookups.

Find the IP for the site and add it to your 'hosts' file.

'nix /etc/hosts
osx /private/etc/hosts
windows, just google it.

Once the IP and domain are in your hosts file your machine will never need to do a dns lookup for that domain again.

They do sell Tooway https://www.europasat.com/satellite-...riffs/england/

I’m having trouble finding a nice map but in most of Europe you can connect back to a UK base station, much better than a VPN in a lot of cases. We don’t always do it as we can switch somewhat easily, well Morocco wasn’t easy, **** Morocco.
