I owe tumblr an apology.

I’ve been complaining for weeks that this site hasn’t been loading properly on desktop. I assumed it was because the staff had screwed something up again. I thought it was a tumblr problem … until I noticed images weren’t loading very well on other sites either.

So I ran a speedtest and found that I was only getting 4mbs. I was about to yell at my ISP but then it hit me – tumblr loaded fine on my phone. I ran a speedtest on my phone and it was 50mbs! Curious I ordered a wireless USB adaptor for my desktop (I had been using an ethernet powerline adaptor) and today it came and I ran another speedtest.

54mbs – a full 50mbs faster using wi-fi.

So I’m sorry tumblr it wasn’t you, it was me and thank merlin I’ve fixed it because it was starting to drive me mental.
