iPad too slow; web pages take too long to open

Hello Claturner,

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

It sounds like webpages are slow to load the content, so let's check if this related to a specific Wi-Fi network. Try connecting with a different network to see if this continues to occur, and see if it's related to a specific webpage or all webpages. Additional factors that could relate to slower iPad performance are discussed here: About iOS or iPadOS performance on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Check your network conditions

Many apps on your device require an internet connection for their content and other functionality. If the network that you're connected to is congested—for example, at an event with many people using the same network—apps might take a while to open or display their content. Your device can also seem slow as it repeatedly reconnects to new cell towers when you're in a moving vehicle.

Even if your device indicates a strong signal, you might need to wait, try again in a different location, or use available Wi-Fi. If you continue to experience issues with cellular data speed, availability, or performance in multiple locations, contact your carrier.

Let us know if this continues with a different Wi-Fi network, and confirm what exactly is affected if we misunderstood you.

Have a great day!
