Almost everybody has a Facebook profile where they share photos, videos and other stuff. When out of the sudden problems with the Facebook page arises the people are going to ask themselves: why is Facebook slow?
When you thing that Facebook is slow, you must start asking yourself some questions, like for example: are all webpages that I visit slow or only Facebook? Is it always slow or only occasionally?
All websites are slow
In case all websites are slow you do not have a specific Facebook problem. We can categorize the possible cause in two categories: computer performance issues or Adobe Flash Player issues. If all website that you visit are slow, the cause of the problem is high likely your computer. You PC could be infected by a virus or maybe it needs some clean-up or a software upgrade. See the article: computer clean-up for instructions on how to clean a computer that is running slow.
Another factor that can slow down Facebook is the internet plugin Flash Player. Which we are going to discuss in the next chapter.
Flash Player is making Facebook slow
Flash Player is a plugin created by Adobe. This plugin is responsible for showing games and videos in Facebook. So if you have some kind of problem with Flash Player the speed of Facebook will be bad. A good test to determine if Flash Player is damaged is by visiting YouTube. As I discuss in the article: YouTube slow, Flash Player is often the cause of a slow internet. Therefore visit YouTube and see if the videos are shown correctly and that they are loaded fast.
What can you do when Flash Player is making Facebook slow? That is simple: reinstall the plugin. Go to the Adobe web site and download the latest version. Uninstall Flash from your computer and install the version you just downloaded.
If Facebook stays slow, I have to remind you that 90% of PC and internet problems are caused by a lack of Computer maintenance.

Why is my computer so slow? To determine possible causes of a slow computer, we have to discriminate three different types: a slow computer at start-up (boot is slow), slow PC when starting software or constantly having a slow computer.
Slow computer at boot time
When your computer is running slow a boot time, than it is important to know what is happing behind the scenes. At the moment the operating system of Microsoft boots, a lot of processes are started. The first thing that Windows does is, it loads its start-up configuration, a specific set of configuration retrieved from the Windows registry specifying exactly what services, software and drivers must be loaded.
Here can we identify three possible causes which might turn your PC in a slow computer.
The Windows registry, the source where all system configurations are stored is too big; it contains some much information that finding the information needed takes too much time. And therefore the registry must be cleaned up.
The Windows registry contains errors or is corrupted. The registry must be repaired.
There are a lot of start-up services installed in your computer. A start-up program is a third party software component that is started at the moment Windows starts, how more of these services are activated on your computer how slower he gets. Deactivating start up services is therefore needed.
As you may have noticed, the Windows registry plays an important role. A lot of people compare the registry with the human brain. It is involved in all operations on your computer.
Cleaning and repairing the registry can therefore solve a lot of these kinds of problems. See for more information: Computer clean up.
Occasionally a slow computer
Do you notice that starting a software program takes more time than before? Or it seems to freeze your computer at specific moments? Than your problem may fall under the category an occasionally slow computer.
We can identify the following possible causes:
Your computer is infected with a virus.
Software / Windows registry errors
Driver issue
When your computer is infected by a virus a direct drop of performance can be noticed. It depends on the type of virus. Also Spyware or Adware can make your PC really slow. You can see Spyware/adware a lot in combination with your web browser. A lot of people download plugins for their browser, which are loaded with ads or buttons and stuff, which makes starting your browser time consuming operation. More information you can find on: internet slow.
As with everything that is running on your Windows operating system, the Windows registry is consulted all the time. To find specific drivers, paths, files user setting and much more. If you have a damaged Windows registry you can get all kinds of problems. Please check the page: clean-up PC for more information.
Another possible cause could be a problem with one of your hardware drivers. If you for example start a game, the system will load the drivers of the graphical card. When those drivers are not working correctly, or they are working with the wrong versions than you can have hardware performance problems.
Computer is always slow
When your computer is constantly slow, than you could have a combination of several problems. Because finding the problem can be very complex, because one problem is caused by another, I recommend that you start with a clean-up. If that doesn’t help, try a Pc clean-up tool like Pc Health Advisor. You can download it here and perform a system health scan.
