not sure where this should go.....slow browsing.....

[Gavin]

Could it be a DNS lookup issue.

If download/refreshing a page is quick, if it's just the initial/first time that's taking too long then that would be my first guess. Easiest way to test for that would be to try a website using the IP address instead of the URL.

it seems to be so random this is hard to do

If it's random I'd have a couple of command prompt windows open that run continuous pings to your DNS servers, then when it next happens switch to those command prompt windows and check if the time= shows a big jump in ms.

In command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd), enter the following line (replace the DNSIP with the IP address of your DNS server) then hit enter:
Ping –t DNSIP

If you have multiple DNS servers then you'll need to open multiple command prompts and enter that string for each

From this point on if you see quote marks, you need the text inside the quote marks, italics text is something you choose or need to find:

If you want to save the results to somewhere then you can add " >PingLog.txt" (you will need to change the name for each DNS). These files will go to wherever the address in the command prompt is showing.

In case you've never used command prompt, you can change the address command prompt will save the file to if you like using the cd command. "cd .." will take you up a folder level and "cd foldername" will move you in to the folder, if there's a space in the folder name then you need to put quote marks around the folder name.

Edit: To stop this constant ping test cleanly you will need to press the break key on the keyboard whilst the command prompt is selected.

@5abr3 Has explained how you'd do that.

I'd be inclined to agree that it's browser based however you said you've tried a different browser so that kind of rules that out as getting the same issue with two different browsers (e.g. Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave) then it would be highly unlikely for all of them to have the same problem. That's why i suggested it maybe an issue with DNS lookup.

I am having this problem on youtube. All other websites are fine but youtube is just so slow. I Can literally see the comments and sidebar loading at 2fps.

will try this but never have done it before

Yeah that's the kind of result we are expecting to see. It's now a question of leaving the pingtest running whilst waiting for another batch of slow downs: if the time value jumps up (or if you start getting timeouts) when your browsing slows down and can go from there based on whatever the results are.
