Why is Quickbooks Online running so slowly the past week? So slowly that pages are timing out. Cache and cookies cleared, browser up to date. Nothing helps.

Hi! I appreciate you reaching out to us, @briannatsp. Let's continue with some troubleshooting steps about the browser problem you have encountered so you can get back to business seamlessly.

There are times when the browser retains out-of-date Internet files that may cause websites to run slow on your computer, just like QuickBooks Online.

I suggest logging in to your QuickBooks Online account in another browser or using a private browser. By doing so, the issues brought on by a full cache prohibit the cache from saving your browsing data.

You can utilize these keyboard shortcuts depending on the browser you are using.

• For Microsoft Edge, press Ctrl + Shift + P.
• For Safari, press Command + Shift + N.
• For Firefox, press Ctrl + Shift + P.

If this works, QuickBooks Online will function more efficiently and effectively. You may also check these articles to provide you with more information about your issue:

• Clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QBO

If the steps above are still ineffective, you can check other supported browser as alternatives.

Please reply to me again if I can be of additional help with the browser problem. We'll always be here to assist. Have a great day!

 

Actually, @FateCandylaneT   If you search through a few more threads, you'll see that they have supposedly opened an investigation, due to so many complaints about it running slow.  

@briannatsp  There is no reason to waste your time on all the "trouble shooting".  QB is aware of the issue.  I would suggest getting in contact with them and getting added to the affected user list. (Sorry, I don't have an inv #) 

Thanks for getting involved with this thread, Just_me. I appreciate your detailed information.

I've reviewed our ongoing/solved investigations and can confirm there's currently one about QuickBooks running slow.

If you haven't yet, I'd recommend getting in touch with our Customer Care team and referencing its case number (INV-77933). They'll be able to pull up your account in a secure environment, conduct further research, and add you to Intuit's list of affected users. This assures you'll receive email notifications about any updates relating to its case.

They can be reached while you're signed in.

Thank you both for the info.  I'll get on the affected users list.  I'm really happy to hear that QB realizes its a bigger issue on their end.
