gmail freezing or slow?

[patelinator]

my gmail has been going awfully slow recently, along with freezing my
browser (ie7) momentarily every time i click something within gmail
(inbox, trash, etc.). this issue occurs within the newer version of
gmail - it doesn't seem to occur with the older version. i don't want
to use the older version however; i like the newer version and want to
find out what the problem is. does anyone else have this problem?
does anyone know how to fix it?

Try clearing your cache.  That solves a lot of problems similar to this.

that didn't work. I cleared my cache multiple times and the same
problem still happens. I don't know what's wrong.

[Nick Chirchirillo]

Try using a different browser or computer.  This will help to see if the problem is on your end or Google's.

I've been having same issue the last 3 days - i've cleared my cache &
tried Opera, Firefox and IE, with same slow response times - must be
on google end? i'm in Rochester, NY using TW RR.

I use Mozilla, and Google Chrome, and I too have bee having this Freezing Problem with g-mail.  It seems to occur most with Mozilla, and I keep getting a Freeze Screen with the Message, Mozilla Not Responding.  Very Frustrating.

Try a friend's computer. It might also be something running on yours that is
affecting all browsers.

Andrew:

I don't think so.  As I too continue to have this problem, although I only use Firefox and Google Chrome, and I have 4-Computers, and have tried different ones, and they all Lock-up and Freeze a lot on g-mail, so I too think it's a g-mail problem??

Did you look at this thread?

It has a link you should be trying.

Have you tried running a traceroute from your PC to the Gmail server.  If you are having the same problem with different browsers, it may be that one of the routers between you and Gmail has a problem.

A traceroute will show where the slow down is and then maybe you can contact the relevant people to have that router checked.

Julie:

How do you run a traceroute?

[JohnW]

Open a DOS box (Type Cmd in the Run box) and enter 'tracert' with the
IP address of the destination you're trying to reach.

Well you did ask!!

Or you can install this add on if you are using ff... Broadband Speed
Test and Diagnostics 1.2.5

It gives you various tools.

I've been having same issue the last 2 days - i've cleared my cache &
tried Opera, Firefox ,IE and Chrome.All of them freeze when i try to
enter gmail ?
Whats happen ? Is there any virus to do this issue ?

[Zack (Doc)]

Have you also cleared your cookies? It's often not enough to clear
cache, but cookies must also be cleared.

fyi:

I am still having this Freezing Problem with Firefox and Chrome, and
now I have encountered a New Problem with Only those Browsers, and
that problem is:

When I Click on g-mail after first starting my Computer and one of
those Browsers, I can Log in OK; however the Loading Bar on the Screen
is just up and Blank with the Loading Icon on, when I click to HTLM my
Messages come into Full Screen; but, when I click onto New Version it
goes back to Loading, and Blank. I have Cleared my Cache and when I
switch to Internet Explorer Browser, everything works as it should????
What has changed??
Thanks,
Texy

Julie:
I go to Control Settings and Clear both the Cookies and the Temporary
Internet Cache, is that where I need to do this?

Have been having the same problems.. very slow or system completly
freezes. Tried all of the above with no luck, however when I disabled
the Google toolbar my entire system got a boost in performance. The
trade off for faster gmail and surfing is bad. I no longer have access
to any of the tools I use every day. Are there any particular things
I may be using in toobar that will slow things down?
