    Try another browser, if it works fine you probably have a dodgy add on installed in the browser which is slowing you down, try disabling them until it is ok again.


    Do you use Microsoft smartscreen or similar from another Av vendor? They check every link you visit in their database before it opens. This can cause a slow down.
