Brave is taking forever to open sites

I just recently installed Brave (approx 2 weeks ago) and for the most part I really like it. However, I’ve begun to notice that it is taking a very long time for sites to open. For example, tonight I went to FB, ESPN and FoxNews. All 3 took about 10-22 seconds to open. I have a clean install, no extensions so what gives? Any tip settings/advice would be appreciated. TIA.

Hi @Timtropolis, a few follow up questions:

  • What OS and Brave version are you using?
  • Any new extensions?
  • Have you tried in private mode or a new profile? Issue still persist?
  • Can you share a screen grab of this happening?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Steeven,

ty for taking the time to respond.

Win11, Brave v1.78.94
No extensions at all
Issues occur in private mode and new profile.
No screen grab, just that the sites take anywhere from 10-22 seconds to load. I will say that if I close Brave and re-open, then the sites open normally. It’s after Brave has been open for a while that I notice the site slowdown.

HTH, please let me know if you need anything other info.
