Why is qb online so slow?

I have checked requirements and internet connection. This is a consistant problem. I've been wating for 20 minutes and still waiting, watching the four green dots spin and spin just to reconcile.

Let's get your reconciliation page running smoothly again, thespotbookkeeping. To best assist you, I've got additional troubleshooting steps below for you to perform. 

 

Beforehand, I appreciate the initial steps you've performed to fix this problem. Another potential reason is a browser-related issue that can interfere with your QuickBooks Online (QBO) performance. Corrupted cache files in your browser can sometimes create discrepancies that hinder the display of transactions during reconciliation.

 

To check, please log in to your account using a private or incognito browser. This allows you to access the latest version of the page without stored data. Open an incognito window using the following keyboard shortcuts:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Safari 11 or newer: ⌘ + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Shift + Ctrl + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N


If it works, go back to your regular browser and clear the cache to delete those temporarily stored files and browsing history. The overtime data collection can create corruption, however, removing this should fix it.

 

You can find detailed process and fixes for other issues you might be experiencing in this article: QuickBooks Online doesn't load correctly or has blank pages.

 

If you have any more questions or need further help with your QBO performance or reconciliation, please don't hesitate to reach out again, thespotbookkeeping. We're determined to help.

QuickBooks Online seems to vary in performance between slow, slower, and very slow.  Not the app to use if you want to get anything done in a hurry.
