Why is WC Slow?
There could be about three reasons for that. First, WC is a very large and intensive website to run effectively. If you are navigating on mobile, expect some slowness. Computers handle WC very well. Second, a strong WIFI connection is recommended since many 3rd party resources must connect as well. Lastly, if you are simply trying to find weather data and you experience your slowness on the website as a logged in user, try logging out if you don’t necessarily have to be logged in so that way you can receive the lighting fast data! One thing that helps users is by adding WC is an app! Go to the homepage on WC to learn how!
