New tab opens a slow scrape

I created a beautifully functioning sitemap using web scraper. I used it successfully for almost 2 years. When I selected "scrape", the scrape began immediately in the current tab.

Although I made no changes to my sitemap, now when I select "scrape", a new tab opens and the scrape is unbearably slow. The scrape data is accurate, it just takes forever. It now does this regardless of whether I use Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

What is the likely cause for this change?

Can you please post your sitemap?

It's a site that I have to pay to access. I don't think I can share that info. Is there something specific I should examine?
