Is Your iPad Slow? Here's How You Can Fix It

Have you ever met a time when your iPad suddenly processes slowly or appears to bog down just after several hours? This normally happens to old iPads with no processing power such as iPad Pro or iPad Air. Many reasons can explain the slow down of these tablets: apps having issues, slow internet connection. However, these problems are easy to solve by doing the following steps.

Restarting your device

Sometimes closing the running apps may not work. When you do not see any positive changes in their performances, just restart the Ipad again. This will remove everything out of temporary memory, and also provides your tablets new fresh starts. Do not worry about the disappearance of your personal data. 

Test the Wi-Fi connection of your tablets

In case the restart does not help your tablets perform better, you may think of your Wi-Fi connection as a reason. To test the speed of the internet connection of your Wi-Fi network, you can use a separate app named Speedtest from Ookla. The app will send data to a remote server, next resend them back to your tablets while checking speeds for upload and download.

Operate the current version of the iOS

It is better to operate the latest iOS version on your iPad. This will ensure you have the latest performance tweaks, also the latest fixes for possible security threats.

Turn off the Background App Refresh

This step is important as it can help save battery life and can keep your tablets mean and clean. BAR makes the app to refresh the content, even if you do not use them. In this way, Facebook may reach you and retrieve posts to the news feed, or a news app can get the latest news.

Clear storage space

If you are facing low storage space, just clearing up some more room for the iPad tablets can sometimes help with the performance. Just by deleting some apps that you do not use, particularly games that you have not played lately.
