Hi Bighead, Im wondering what operating system and browser you are using, and guessing the Admin will want that info to help figure this out.
Im thinking some script or app is not loading properly, but you will likely get real answers from Admin.
Welcome and good to see you here friend.

Â Yeah, the ipad2 came out in 2011-2012ish I believe, so it probably is a compatibility issue between outdated tech and newer forum software. Â The iPad 2 didn't come with Siri either. Â I've turned off a lot of options in the settings because they are nothing more than flashy ideas to perform a task I can do manually and not consume the iPad's resources. Â I appreciate how responsive you were with this. Â Thanks for the help and suggestions (I so want to upgrade my IPad, but financially I can't pull the trigger). Â Me and this IPad are like husband and wife. Â It's been with me for so long and through so much I'm attached to it. Â When it finally dies I may actually shed a tear!

Â I'll get on my laptop and PC at some point and see if I have the same issue. Â When I made the above post it was really bad, but my last few posts have been normal. Â I ran a speedtest on my connection and it wasn't my connection. Â
Thanks forme!
I can't find where it says what the processor or RAM are. Â I've looked everywhere, but I believe it is a dual core. The Ipad2 was purchased when it was on the market for around 9 months I believe. Â 16GB of storage. Â Basically, it was the cheapest Ipad2 you could purchase at the time. Â The model number is MC979LL/A. Â Browser Safari. Â
However, since making this thread everything has been running smooth and quick. Â The first four or five longer posts I made it did it every time. Â Maybe just a coincidence when my connection was slow while on here and then running fine when I ran the speed test. Â I've never had any lag problems like that though, whether I'm streaming YouTube, Netflix, writing emails, or posting on forums. Â If you want or need more info let me know and if I experience it again I'll let you know.
iPad 2 is out dated technology I guess now as per those tech geeks. I still own an iPhone 4S and I know how much I am annoyed from iOS 9. iOS 9 lags big time on old devices. It's wise not up upgrade instantly when a new OS update is available till you read positive reviews about it. Please try giving a restore to your IPad so that it may start working fast and restore as a new iPad if you have no important data on it. Force close any unnecessary apps so that they don't eat up your cache. Only let open the apps which are most necessary. Try using Chrome Browser for a change and if the problem persists let me know.Â
P.S. Forgot to add, If you don't use Siri, Disable it, Also Disable the Parallax Effect on the home screen to make your tablet worth using.
