I am using the masonry blog style. When the page is first displayed, the "Load More" button shows and it takes a few seconds for the blog posts to load. Is that an intentional delay or a result of poor site speed? If it is intentional, is there a way to change the timing? (using a child theme)
Are you using a cache plugin? The blog post load using Ajax, if you have a low responsive time from your server to load the posts it may be a problem with the caching option.
If you could share us the link of the page we could try to check what is the issue.
First the SuperCacher thing is probably something related to your host, some host got some script that minify or cache site automatically which can causes problems.
About the timeline we don't know why this is happening, just tried on our demo site to see if there was a new bug in our new update but it worked perfectly, first try to deactivate the supercacher thing.
After this if you still have the problem try to disable the custom plugins you are currently using.
Please re-contact us if that still doesn't fix the problem.
All the plugins are the same on each site, the theme and child theme are the same, everything is the same version... Both hosts are running php 5.6 (note...that when php5.7 is selected, the load more doesn't work at all) Both are running WP 4.6.1
I deactivated all plugins but the posts still only load on the left I have looked at it in different browsers
I disabled the super cacher on the new host...but it didn't have an affect on the timing or the issue wth the left column only blog posts using timeline view.
Unless you can think of something that might be different between hosts that could affect your theme, I'm switching from timeline to masonry view.
I'd still like the blog to show the posts immediately when the page is loaded. And then use the "load more" to show more posts. Currently, when the page is loaded, the load more button appears and the user must wait for the initial set of posts. If the delay timing can't be adjusted on the initial page load, then I'll switch to classic navigation
That's strange, it seems that all the problems are related to Ajax, for the timeline post it needs to use ajax so you will have to wait a little before the posts load, if you want to have all the posts loaded from the start you would need to use a blog style that can use the normal navigation, but even if using the load more the blog posts shouldn't take more than 1 or 2 sec to show up.
You should try to contact the host and ask them about ajax, I know that sometimes cached content and ajax cause problems.
The fact that everything is working fine in your previous server is that the current server settings are not set correctly or have problem related to ajax.

I'm not using any caching plugin. But the site is on Siteground which uses something called SuperCacher.
NEW ISSUE!
the blog is now only showing items on the left side ... http://77.104.156.249/~phaneuf9/blog

The odd thing is that we were developing this site originally on our own site's hosting (http://www.savoirfaire-us.com/phaneuf/blog) and then we moved it to SiteGround to finish developing and get ready for launch (http://77.104.156.249/~phaneuf9/blog). On the other host, the blog posts display properly
All the plugins are the same on each site, the theme and child theme are the same, everything is the same version...
