Why does my Pc run slow when I go on Facebook?

OK, so my PC runs fine when I visit any other site, but as soon as I go on to Facebook, it runs really slow. I can be typing a status update, and nothing will appear, then after a pause, all the words I have typed will suddenly appear on the screen. I have deleted all pages/groups/applications, so all I have on their are comments from friends, but it is still running slowly. I have tried different browsers and it does the same.

“I can be typing a status update, and nothing will appear, then after a pause, all the words I have typed will suddenly appear on the screen”

It’s called a server lag. You get the same effect on here sometimes when it’s extremely busy.

I assume that you are living in the UK and therefore the Facebook servers are some 6,000 miles away from you.

Ive just pinged their servers and the ping is at the moment and it is 433 m/s

That is 0.433 of 1 second. Just under ½ second.

You type one character and it takes ½ second to send it and the response back from that server that it has received it. Chuck 10 characters at it in quick succession and you get a lag of 5 seconds before it appears on the screen.

Also if your own ISP servers are busy as well at the same time that will only aggravate it even more!

A bit rough and ready but that is how and why server lags happen

Bette Midler Sings The Rosemary Clooney Songbook $7.58 It’s nice to see Bette Midler putting her spin on an American classic after less-than-convincing detours through adult-contemporary cheese. This tribute focuses on Rosemary Clooney in the early to mid-1950s–so we don’t get any of the fabulous Nelson Riddle material–but it’s a fairly strong offering. It was produced and arranged by Midler’s old musical director, Barry Manilow–who actually dueted…
