SharePoint site loading slowly for everyone
SharePoint slowness affecting the whole team is caused by too many large files, a site with too many pages, or too many apps running at once. Start by checking how big the site is and whether Microsoft's servers are having issues.
SharePoint sites that grow too big can slow down. Especially if someone has uploaded hundreds of large files. Slow network connections at your office and app overload also contribute. Start by checking the site's storage and your internet upload speed, then work through what's using up resources.
- ✓Have a web browser ready to check site storage and internet speed
- ✓Be ready to run a speed test at speedtest.net on a computer in your office
- ✓Have access to the Microsoft 365 status page to check for global issues

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Deleting files instead of archiving them. Always move old files to a backup location before deleting
- Assuming the problem is your computer when it's actually the site or internet. Test on another computer first
- Not realizing that storage quota affects speed. A site at 95% full will always be slow no matter what you do
