I’m encountering a persistent issue whilst using the Chrome browser, where the responses have become extremely slow. Specifically, it frequently hangs mid-response for a long duration. I often have to refresh the tab, after which the response appears almost immediately. It seems like the response is ready but takes an unusually long time to display, possibly indicating a problem with the live update mechanism.
Additionally, while the response is either slowly updating or completely stuck, I’ve observed that the CPU usage for the affected tab spikes to around 25%. During these periods, the tab is entirely unresponsive.
This isn’t the first time I’ve faced performance issues; previously, it was related to the code generator getting hung up on specific syntax or keywords. Now, I’m struggling with the responsiveness problems, making the experience quite frustrating.
Has anyone else faced similar issues? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Any updates on this issue? Seems to hang on the response. I have to wait several seconds till i thinks it’s completed the response then refreshing the page displays the response.
I have the same issue on Firefox. It’s impossible to work with it at all. I am Plus user and it is really frustrating. Any updates, possible solutions?
It’s probably some kind of joke that I have to wait 1-2 minutes and then refresh the page. Is this what the service I pay 20 bucks a month for is supposed to be?
This is also happening for me. It’s to the point where I mainly just use the iOS ChatGPT app because Chrome is really slow.
I do have one tip, though. If you have any content blockers, such as AdBlock Pro, disable it for ChatGPT. After disabling those blockers the browser ChatGPT became faster. Still not as quick as the iOS app but it doesn’t crash my webpage anymore. Also, obviously disabling content blockers isn’t preferred, but it does help with the speed a little.
I have same issue, especially when you have long history in one chat it makes it unusable. Please fix it ASAP or create windows app version. Since it’s clearly issue in web version only.
I am facing this issue constantly on Google Chrome. Clearing the cache/cookies does not fix the issue and neither does using Incognito. They either need to work with Google or Microsoft on enhancing their browsers performance and reliability with web version of ChatGPT or make a Windows app. Also, I noticed the performance slows down especially if you are using a VPN like NordVPN. Overall, this issue has been happening all year for me and I am glad others are reporting this issue here.
Yeha, exactly… this is some Buuuuuulllllsshiiiiiii…
That darn thing is slower and dumber each new day.
What is up with the ADHD behaviour… chatgpt losing track every 2 minutes…
"here is the prompt you asked f… Hey Look a squirrel… "
on top of being slow as F.
I’m still having the same issue. ChatGPT is extremely slow on a Chrome browser. Since this thread is many months old I was hoping for a resolution. Is there any way to find out if it’s something that’s being addressed? Chrome is a heavily used browser so I would have thought this would have been given priority.
It is not a general chrome issue. It works just fine on my chrome browser.
Could you hover your mouse over the chatgpt tab when it happens next and tell how the memory consumption is?
Also here is something you can look into:
on linux/mac use htop in the terminal or on windows I think it was ctrl + shift + esc that you can press to see the memory consumption of your computer in general.
Maybe it is a general problem?
Does it work well in other browsers?
Hello, apologies for the delayed response. This issue happens every time I use ChatGPT on my pc (not as significant a delay on my mobile device). I just hovered over the tab and the memory usage is 502 mb. Other processes and sites are much more responsive on this machine.
