Why is program so slow?

Try opening your QBO account on any private/incognito browser.

Hey there, @oquinn. 

Congrats on making your first post here in the Community! Id be more than happy to help you get your QuickBooks Online account working quicker. 

There are a few things that you should check to ensure that you're getting the most out of your QuickBooks experience: 

• Are you using Google Chrome? We recommend Chrome to receive the best quality. If you already use it, make sure that you have the latest release. 
• Your operating system may not be up-to-date. Review our system requirements guide for more details. 
• Try using an incognito window or private browser. If this works, go back to your regular session and clear your browser's history. 
• Verify that your internet speed isn't limiting your QuickBooks. 

This guide will allow you to look over these statements above and more: Why is my QuickBooks slow?
