Welcome to the Community, centerfortherapy. I appreciate your detailed information.

 

I've reviewed our ongoing/solved investigations and can confirm there's currently no reports of QuickBooks running slow or appearing unresponsive.

 

Since you're encountering unresponsive pages and slow loading times, I'd recommend checking your browser. It's possible this could have something to do with temporary internet files. Browsing applications store these types of records, but sometimes they can cause issues with certain webpages. You can open a private window and check to see if you're able to load pages properly.

 

Here's how to access incognito mode in some of the most commonly used web browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl Shift N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl Shift P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl Shift P
  • Safari: Command Option P

 

If you're able to use QuickBooks without encountering slow speeds and unresponsive pages while browsing privately, it's safe to say this problem's being caused by your browser. It can be fixed by clearing cached data and Intuit-specific cookies.

 

In the event it continues occurring while you're browsing in incognito mode, you'll initially want to try switching to another browsing application.

 

Here's a list of supported browsers:

  • Google Chrome - version 78 or newer
  • Mozilla Firefox - version 76 or newer
  • Microsoft Edge - version 75 or newer
  • Samsung - version 10 or newer
  • Opera - version 68 or newer
  • Safari - version 12 or newer (Mac only)

 

You can also check a browser's compatibility with QuickBooks by utilizing our browser health checkup tool. QuickBooks supports the current and two previous versions of browsers. If you find that you're using an unsupported version, make sure to update it to its latest release. Steps for doing so can be found on the particular company's website.

 

In the event you've found no problems that could be causing this with your browser, I'd recommend using a different device and/or internet connection. If it continues happening on other devices and/or internet connections, you'll want to get in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up the account in a secure environment, conduct further research, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.

 

They can be reached while you're signed in:

  1. Use the Help (?) icon.
  2. Click Contact Us.
  3. Enter a description of your situation in the What can we help you with? field, then hit Let's talk.
  4. Select Start messaging or Get a call.

 

Be sure to review their support hours so you'll know when agents are available.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about system requirements for QuickBooks which may come in handy moving forward: System requirements

 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any questions. Have a lovely day!

Thank you for your response and suggestions. We had already tried all of these suggestions, with no success. An investigation has been opened and the team is working on a fix. Customer support said there are other reports of this loading problem.

Fingers crossed this will be fixed soon!

Thanks, again, for your response.

Zach is telling you lies.  The company continues to experience these problems, but its CS script tells them to not acknowledge its issues.  I just got off the phone today with a QBO Expert regarding the same issue - specifically in the Settings>Account and Settings>Advanced area.  All the same advice, different computers, different browsers, maybe it's your internet... I tried it all.  Please wait 24 hours.  That's what I'm doing now.  Our team has experienced the same issues for a couple of weeks on one of our files (we have four).  And, who would have guessed, my QBO Expert did some searching and they haven't been experiencing any of these issues.  Looks like you have - and others - as documented here.  But let's lie to our customers, the people who pay our bills.  

 

Dear Intuit, your users are smart.  Stop lying to them.  And get to work acknowledging your issues and fixing the bugs.

I am having the same issues.  I have cleared my browser cache and cookies and it did not help. Workflow is at a crawl.  I work in a very fast paced office and this is hindering my ability to complete necessary daily tasks.  Every "help" article is the same and nothing changes with the "fixes" that are recommended.

Hi Andrea32176!

I can see that a slow QuickBooks Online (QBO) hinders you from working smoothly. I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online Support to further analyze this matter.

For future use, you can visit Why is my QuickBooks Online slow? to learn more about the QuickBooks Online performance overview and how mobile connections and internet browsers affect it.

Please feel free to leave a comment on this post if you need help with QuickBooks-related processes, reports, etc.

I can attest that we have been experiencing the exact same issues in the same timeframe.  Nothing helps and I have gone through all the steps suggested.  Except that I am unable to contact support because I encounter and "Oops! We are having difficulties now and are working to resolve them."  Looking for any support or advice as it has been a tremendously trying week.
