If, like many others, you are still having slowness problems on Facebook, here are some things you can try:

2. Do a speed test — If your network speed is  less than 2 Mbps, you may need to find another connection.
3. You may need to switch to Facebook Mobile or Facebook Lite.

If your internet connection is not slow…

1. Check to see if facebook is down right now.
2. Delete your temporary internet files.
3. Delete your cookies.
4. Disable browser plugins.
5. Switch to a modern browser, like Google Chrome.  Or Opera.
6. Try disabling flash.
