Gmail Loading Issues

Have been using G-Mail for several years without any issues. About 1-2 weeks ago, I started having a problem with G-Mail loading slow or only loading about 1/4 of the way before stopping. If I refresh the page several times when it stops, this will "sometimes" allow the page to reload load completely. Haven't changed/added any new programs lately, have the latest updates for Win 7 Pro, IE11, all add-ons are disabled, etc. Anyone else having/had issues with G-Mail lately?

    x2.. things might be better with Chrome...since they're made by the same company.

    Well sometime I forward a joke or something to several contacts at once.

    So I can't use gmail when they don't allow sending to more contacts at once. :(

    Gmail has gotten a wild hair about security and with the wizzing contest between them and Thunder Bird over security I'll most like drop gmail.
    And yes sometimes they are slow to load.


    You don't NEED "Thunderbird" to access Gmail, you can log into Gmail DIRECTLY from your Internet browser.

    Simple, easy and no delays..

    That is how I do it, just timed mine, took exactly 4.7 SECONDS to get into my Gmail from my FireFox.

    you can send to multiple people, no problem, and you can set up groups, if you send things to the same group a lot

    what you can't do

    is send an email and specify ALL your contacts
    that is what a spammer does
  • I'm using the old gmail (not the new Inbox) from Chrome and FF and it's spiffy fast for me.

  • Can't remember the last time I had that. How's your internet connection? Other sites loading?

  • I see you are using IE11..

    You could try clearing your Internet Cache, often times the cache gets a temp file corrupted which causes problems with websites when accessing from your PC only..

    I would suggest trying a DIFFERENT BROWSER other than IE..
