twoplustwo.com main page load long time

So this has been going on for years and years, and I've always just worked around it, but I just have to know the reason for this: If I just put in twoplustwo.com into a browser, it takes at least 30 seconds to load, and sometimes much longer or never loads at all. I don't remember exactly when it first started happening, must be at least five years. However, if I just google twoplustwo nvg or any other forum and go there it loads immediately. Same thing for any link to a specific thread. But the main site just does not load properly. It doesn't matter what computer I use or where I am in the country. And it happens every single time; there's never a time where it just quickly loads.

So what gives? How is this possible? Why do you allow this to happen?

lol, been having this issue for years, finally decided to google the topic, found this thread and the link to it opened instantly. Haha I had 0 idea skipping going to the homepage first 'solves' the problem. Odd this hasn't been fixed yet though.
