Likely fix
Fix: Browser is slow
A slow browser is usually caused by too many tabs, heavy extensions, cached data problems, low memory, background downloads, or the internet connection itself.
Quick answer
Close extra tabs, disable unnecessary extensions, restart the browser, and test another browser to see whether the problem is the browser or the whole PC.
Important warning
Some browser extensions can slow every page you open or inject ads and tracking scripts.
Try this
- 1 Close extra tabs and browser windows.
- 2 Restart the browser.
- 3 Disable extensions you do not need.
- 4 Try the same website in another browser.
- 5 Pause downloads, cloud backups, and streaming apps.
- 6 Restart the PC.
- 7 If every browser is slow, test your internet speed and check Task Manager.
