Your Internet is lagging for several reasons!
In 90% of cases, the problem is one of the following:
- Too many open tabs on your internet browser affect the speed of your internet connection (the pages update automatically, opening several tabs simultaneously takes up RAM on your device).
- Extensions installed on your browser slow down your internet connection. Some extensions share data on remote servers and they use part of your device’s RAM.

- Your web browser is out of date or has bugs.
- Malicious software can considerably slow down the performance of your Internet connection: loading pop-up advertisements, automatic transfer of data without your consent, use of your device’s resources.
