Your web browser is running slowly
You probably have too many tabs open or extensions running. Close half your tabs or disable extensions you don't use. This alone fixes slowness.
Browsers slow down because you have many tabs open (each uses memory), extensions are running on every page, or your cache is full. Closing unused tabs is the fastest fix.
