HI Gents,

We have an issue. Nored-red is loading very slowly in the browser, so slow that it's not even opening. Can you tell me what the issue could be?

I have started stopped and restarted node-red, but still the same. we even switch between wifi to Lan and switch routers and switches, and also clear the cookies...still the same , ons 4 different machines. even tried different browsers, safari, chrome, firefox , all the same

First check in your OS's system monitor to see if node-red is hogging the processor. In a linux machine use the `top` command.

Stop node red and start it again using a command window. Copy/paste here the full startup output you get there. Copy/paste please, not screenshot.

Hi Peter, long time no speak. Hope you are well.

Check the browser console logs too - see if there are any errors generated.

Also, what did you do last? Did you perhaps introduce a loop that is "running away"? You can start node-red in safe mode (flows not running) using `node-red --safe` to see if that improves matters. It will also give you the opportunity to adjust/fix/disable things you might think are problematic. Once you deploy, the flow will start running. Keep doing that until you find and fix the issue.
