Does you iPad run slower than it used to? Some factors may affect your iPads performance. This is not an uncommon problem. The following tips should help you speed up your iPad:
- Take good care of your iPad. Please read this article on how to properly maintain your iOS device.
- Close any running apps: Click the Home button twice from the home screen, tap and hold an app, when they start to jiggle, tap the red minus sign. Doing this does not remove the app from your iPad. It just removes it from running as a background process (multitasking).
- Clear Out Your Cache. The iPad safari app can slow things down. From time to time you may want to clear your cache. To do that, simply tap Settings > Safari > Clear History, Clear Cookies and Data.
- Restart your device: If above tips do not do the trick, you may try rebooting your device by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red “slide to power off” slider appears, and then slide the slider. You can turn it on again by holding down the sleep/wake button again.

Your advise didn’t help one bit. I close all running apps, cleared out cash, deleted all unnecessary apps. Still my brand new ipad 3 is considerably slower than it was a month ago. Pls advise me what else I can do to improve its performance.

This is quite obviously an Apple problem. There are too many people on many forums across the web in different countries all havi the same problem that only stated since upgrading to IOS 6.1 . We have all carried out ALL of the suggested tips and non make a different therefore ……..
We will all have to wait until Apple get there finger out and correct this error, this error that they will never admit is an error as per usual.

This problem is horrible. Worse is Apple’s arrogance in not having a solution to thenproblem. Their absolute silence over the years (this is by no means a recent problem) is saying, “It is not our fault!”
I too have done all of the steps, including resetting the network settings, and nothing. Stuff I enjoyed last year (Twitter) I cannot now because the linked pages load slowly and the images hardly at all; just the white rectangular box with the question mark in the middle!

I’m too having slow experiences on my ipad 2.. I’ve noticed this is since the 6.1.3 update as it was running normal on 6.1.2
Apple pull your finger out your arse and get this problem sorted! Otherwise I’m off to Samsung …

Yep. I’ve been trying to reply to this chat since may 13 and my ipad 3 has only just let me…seriously. What good is a tablet that wont function. My iPhone runs 10 times faster at least and is never slow. Now on the pad, you tube inaccessible,many URL need 3 or 4 attempts to e and frequently just hang, and im using it less and less. What IS interesting is that if i use wireless hotspot on the ipad, the laptop i connect it to runs fast and sweet on all apps. So its not safari in my ire but the tablet guts. Whatever that is. But a heap of crap it is at present. Just crap
