Halifax, Lloyds Bank, BOS online banking, now really slow

typistretired

I must be one of the lucky ones as I have never had any problem logging onto any of those banking sites.

They can't really expect their average user to be able to edit the registry or delete and recreate the paging file.

I absolutely agree. I don't have the confidence to what's been suggested as I'm not at all techie (if something went wrong I wouldn't know what to do), so I'll just have to put up with the slowness. It's just frustrating when I have to do the £1,000 shuffle (or £750 in case of Halifax) between all of the Halifax, Lloyds, BoS and TSB accounts. Oh what we've reduced to in order to try to get a bit of interest!

:)Give it a go, Start to Run and enter Regedt32.exe - and then change a number from 0 to 1 - I'm not that techie, but it works!

If that's to complex go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314834 and :eek:click the Fix it for me Button.

This change does not take effect until you restart the computer
Always backup first - before making any changes to the Registry
Only downside on my PC - it takes longer to shut down

I am not entirely convinced that that actually solved the problem. Perhaps the site just randomly worked fine like it always does? or maybe it just got fixed I don't see how you can blame pagefile for slowly loading websites.

If anything already cached (stored for quicker access) on PC is the culprit, ctrl+F5 should fix it as that reloads everything fresh from the internet

Slowed down for me yesterday evening (had been very fast lately) I'm using chrome browser. Today speed was back up again (could be browser specific updates to their website that took a day to kick in?)

This problem has returned for me yesterday and today - very slow performance on Lloyds Internet banking and no picture headers on the "You've logged out" page. TSB Internet banking is fine. I'm running Windows 7 SP1 + IE.

I tried clearing the pagefile (pagefile.sys) yesterday and it appeared to work. But when the problem returned this morning and I cleared the pagefile again, it didn't work this time.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem again?

Yes, just tried to log on; page wouldn't display after typing in logging in details.

Panic over (for me at least)! Lloyds Internet banking has returned to normal speed this evening and the picture headers on the "You've logged out" page are back. I suspect the problem was caused by something that Lloyds were doing.

Same here.

I realise this is an oldish thread, but I'm having significant problems with Lloyds Bank personal banking with Firefox 41.0.2 under Windows 8.1. It goes into Not Responding mode for what seems like ages (probably a minute) at each stage when I log in. I clear the cache on a regular basis but it makes no difference. Anyone else suffering or is it just me? Admittedly I use a lot of add-ons, but I've turned ad and tracking blockers off and still have this problem.
