The availability of trustworthy, authentic services under a single platform has always been compelling to users. It has a diversified user base consisting of different types of businesses, and their needs also vary with them. The solution to this was different versions of QuickBooks explicitly designed according to the user’s needs. Many versions of QuickBooks are available, like-QuickBooks Enterprise, QuickBooks Online, etc. QuickBooks online helps users access their business data from anywhere using an internet connection. But the users always have complaints about the slow speed of QBO. This blog answers the question, “Why is QBO so slow?”.

  2. Reasons While working on QBO, you might have felt t the pages are taking more time to load, there’s a delay in response from the system, or the scrolling is not smooth. We have listed some possible factors that might be responsible- 1. Poor internet connection 2. Incompatible System specifications 3. Unsupported web browser

  3. Actions to take We have stated some solutions you can execute to make your user experience better in QuickBooks Online- Fix 1- Check your network connection A lousy internet connection is a red flag for any software dependent on it. It causes a slow data transfer rate and data losses, making your QBO slow. So, to verify that your connection is healthy, run an internet speed test on Google. Note the test parameters and compare them with the stats by QuickBooks. Recommended-3 Mbps or higher Minimum-1.5 Mbps If there are no issues with the connection, move to the other action required.

  4. Fix 2- Check the compatibility of the system Every software needs certain system specifications to run, depending on its functions and the system components it’ll use. System specifications basically refer to the RAM & processor of your computer. RAM carries files required for a system to run, and the processor is responsible for the speed with which the data is processed within a system. If they lag in their performance, it’ll automatically affect the whole system's performance, including QBO. Check for your system specifications and compare them with the QuickBooks standards- Recommended- Windows PC: Windows 10, Intel Core i5 or similar processor & minimum of 4GB RAM. Mac: OS X High Sierra 10.13 or advanced Minimum- Windows PC: Windows 10, Intel Core i3, or a similar processor & minimum of 2GB of RAM. Mac: OS X El Capitan 10.11 or advanced If your system doesn’t match the requirements, then upgrade your system, and if it is compatible, move on to the next solution.

  5. Fix 3-Check your browser Your web browser plays a significant role in determining the speed of QBO. Some browsers don’t allow QuickBooks processes in the background which can cause your QBO to slow down. Incorrect settings of the browser can also be a reason. If the Incognito mode or VPN is turned on, the browser will recheck each file every time it is accessed. The browsers recommended by QuickBooks are- Google Chrome: Version 78 or advanced Mozilla Firefox: Version 76 or advanced Microsoft Edge: Version 75 or advanced Safari: Version 12 or advanced These fixes will sort out your issues with the speed of QBO.
