Why is GMail so slow?


Recommended Posts

Every time I try to open an email, it sits at Loading.... for minutes on end, then I get  "Error

Some Gmail features have failed to load due to an Internet connectivity problem. If this problem persists, try reloading the page, or using the basic HTML version."

 

.  Running 50mb/s internet connection.  This a known issue with gmail? Any fixes?  Thanks

never noticed it running slow for me. the little loading screen it gives you only pops up long enough for me to notice its there and then its gone again.

What browser/version are you using? The only time I encountered a problem with slow-loading Gmail was when I was using Firefox + Firebug (with debugging auto-enabled), otherwise it loads in < 1 second for me usually.

No issues here from the midwestern US, Firefox 23 plus an army of addons, near instant to load and jump around the mailbox.

Any addons causing problems?

I hate the loading screen

 

But it works for me like normal, after logging in it boots up the friggin' loading screen and after a few seconds I'm in my inbox

The error message says it all, you are having some form of connectivity issues, have you actually tested your connection?

 

Go to SpeedTest.net, make sure you are actually getting the listed speeds

Go to pingtest.net make sure you get at least a B grade there

 

I was having similar issues, turned out my ethernet cord is starting to go bad, is of an undetermined age and has been tripped over a few times, switched to wireless for the time being

If your Internet's speed is fine, you should clear your browser's cache and remove gmail cookies. I experienced this problem couple of times in Firefox and I fixed it by doing the steps i mentioned earlier.
