Hi there, sudeb. When you mentioned slowdown, is it affecting your entire account or just specific tasks like running reports or loading the banking page?
Since you noticed this happening specifically in the afternoon, it can often be caused by your browser's cache accumulating throughout the day or a decrease in available memory (RAM). Older or unsupported browsers may not operate QuickBooks Online (QBO) efficiently, resulting in delays or lag.
Here are a few tips to help speed things up:
Check Internet Bandwidth: It's also helpful to check your internet speed. Afternoon "peak hours" on your local network can sometimes affect how quickly pages load.
Review System Requirements: Reviewing the system requirements for QBO is another good step to confirm that your device meets the recommended specifications.
Update Google Chrome: Using Google Chrome and making sure it's updated to the latest version often helps improve overall performance.
Try Incognito Mode: Open an Incognito (private) window. If QBO runs faster there, it means you simply need to clear your browser's cache.
