Page Unresponsive, Slowness, Lag How to fix?

ChatGPT Bugs
1

Hey guys

I use Chatgpt 3.5 or 4 with the Plus via web and 90% of the time I enter a prompt, I get page unresponsive / just takes an asbolute age. I emailed they’re support they refunded me and told me to update my windows, the browser, clear cache and cookies, which I did all of that. its seemingly just my computer - my partner shared the same acc and doesnt have the issue on her work computer.

its been going on for a few months now and its making me use other AI chatbot tools like poe/claude but i want to continue using chatgpt.

the mobile app version works fine no slowness.

Ive tried chrome, incognito and edge.

I really don’t know what else to do to get rid of this near-permanent unusability due to slowness.

it never used to do this.

computers relatively new, high end, no other issues with any other app/software etc

Thank you !!!

Agreed. Same problems here.

On my end it comes when I have connected google docs and some times PDFs.

same issue here, and this only started within the past few weeks, and it’s starting to affect my productivity.

“I am also experiencing this issue, which is significantly impacting my productivity. Have you found any solutions?”

Also here. Getting worse. Almost every prompt I have to stop tab and open up a new page. I’m also using the paid version, which is super irritating.

I’m having this problem too. Anybody got any idea why it’s happening?

Let me guess. Is it happening on Chrome during super long chats?

Well it’s definitely happening in Chrome

So, here are your options:

  1. Stop using Chrome.
  2. Stop writing ridiculously long chats.

Haha, just kidding. When I struggled with searching through a long chat, I just exported the whole thing as a PDF and started a fresh chat.

We shouldnt have to do this…

There’s a limit to how much a browser tab can handle depending on your RAM, etc. Pretty amazing for what it’s doing… I’m sure it’ll keep improving.
