I updated the site with new articles and updated my SSL. Still a work in progress, let me know check it out.
www.thisCrowd.com
which SSL did you used? it still gives the msg that "parts of this website are not secure such as Images" Maybe something is wrong with your images.www.thisCrowd.com
you should use shorter descriptions (equal for all articles) because the layout is kinda breaking up.
Overall it is a nice website. all the best.
Even on gigabyte internet in an uncongested area, it still takes your website a few seconds to load. I can imagine people with non-fibre would have it even worse, and people that have a lot of windows open and are going through VPN/TOR.
I understand the way you built it, and I like the design, but maybe you could add a loading indicator of some kind?
I also do not understand how such a page load affects Google, because that will affect your SEO.
