To think that the internet issues on my Samsung S26 Ultra are down to the phone being faulty?

I have to constantly reload pages to get them to load, it takes forever to connect to a website

Literally have to click a link, refresh and do it again to get it to work

Anyone had this? Is it just me

O2 phone, virgin wifi - its getting ridiculous

I had this on my Samsung. I think it was due to ads. I've changed phone and use a different operating system now and it blocks google and most ads. I use Brave browser and it's fine. Back up to speed. I think ads clog Samsungs up. Also, Google analytics and tracking don't help.

Speed is very good. Try another browser.

How much storage space does it have left? Is the browser version up to date?

Google Chrome is up to date
33% storage used

I will clear cache!

I havent done either - could try using Samsung internet i guess, but it won't have all my passwords

And will download a speed test app now x

You don't need an app, just go to Google and search for speedtest. Their speedtest should come up. Use that

Is it when you're using wifi or 5G? Is the issue the same on different browsers? Are others in the house having the same issue? There's an awful lot of things to check before blaming the phone.

Is this when out and about, at home on WiFi, or both?

Have you tried a different browser? Ran a speedtest?
