iPad internet is so slow pages won’t load properly

Just all of a sudden in the last week, my iPad Internet connection is so slow. I checked for updates. I have rebooted my iPad. I am sitting close to the router and the Internet speed is still super slow. Slow enough that pages won’t even load. My cell phone is sitting right beside me and I ran a speed test on it and it’s getting a fast Internet connection so I don’t understand what’s wrong with his iPad. Anybody have any other ideas?

iPad, iPadOS 18

Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN. VPN actually reduces your privacy, it does not enhance it, so you may want to rethink the reason you use VPN.
