This week, Quickbooks online has been going PAINFULLY slow. WHAT IS THE DEAL????

We've had the same issue this entire week.  It's ridiculous!!  

I appreciate you for bringing this to our attention, @usertessa, @Just_me.

I know how you're feeling about the slow performance of QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let me impart a few details on this to resolve the issue.

To begin with, it's imperative to note that there is a 10-second waiting period for QBO's initiation. Our systems undergo constant monitoring to ensure that we meet this target. However, it's important to remember that since this program is web-based, its efficacy largely hinges on the processing power of your device or computer. The amount of memory (RAM) available and the bandwidth of your internet connection are critical factors that determine whether the program will function optimally.

To speed up its performance, ensure to consider the following:

• Ensure you have the most recent version of Google Chrome by going to the Chrome menu, selecting Help, and then clicking on About Google Chrome.
• Check that your operating system is up to date and you meet or exceed the System Requirements for QuickBooks Online.
• Verify your internet speed (bandwidth) is not limiting your QuickBooks Online experience. Run a Google Speed Test to confirm your bandwidth/the speed of your connection. To better understand the results of the Google Speed Test, be sure to read over how the results are determined and what they mean.
