Facebook is Slow on Desktop
If you’re on your browser, trying to get to a certain Facebook group chat, or unblock an old friend, but the site is slow, it may be because of a few reasons.
First things first, check the internet connection on your computer, tablet, or phone. If your internet connection is not performing for other websites as well, it’s time to troubleshoot your internet.
Try restarting your router, turning your electronic device off and on again, as well as disconnecting from your internet and reconnecting. If those tactics don’t work, it may not be your internet connection.
All things considered, if Facebook is so slow on your browser but it’s not your internet, it could also be browser add-ons or other features. Therefore, it’s time to try the old “turn it off and back on again” tactic. Try quitting your browser and reopening it again.
However, if that doesn’t work, you can opt for clearing your cache on your browser, as well as disabling third-party browser extensions. Check online to find the specifics for clearing your cache and temporary data on your specific computer/browser. Not to mention looking into how to disable your add-ons and extensions specific to your personal browser!
