What is YouTube so slow?

Answer 1

Check with your ISP - what is the upload speed.

Go to this site: http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html and scroll right to the button and download it and then get what ever video you want and it uploads it 2x faster. If you need more help search it up in YouTube it will be much easier, believe me ;)

There are many reasons but I know a very fast way to upload vids,

You need windows LIVE movie maker, you go on, open the video you want to upload, click share on youtube, then do all the details, then it should only take 10 mins to upload :)

The above only works for HD videos if the following things are true:

~You have NOT got Windows Live Movie Maker 2011

~Your video is set to wide screen

~Your video file is not too large

For HD videos on youtube from the 2011 version, you must:

~Save the video to your computer as an HD video

~Upload the saved video to youtube

This takes over an hour for a film of roughly 3 minutes or longer.

It works if you don't want HD videos otherwise.

Answer 2

I

On my computer lately its been going super slow and all other websites go fast. It happened around the same time they put up those ANNOYing ads that pop up in the video. I think Google is just getting too money hungry lately and cutting costs. They shouldn't have bought youtube if there just gonna flood it with annoying ads.

2: Try to change your browser and use Chrome. Sometimes slow browsers make us feel that the Youtube is running slower. Also repair for PC errors, Flash and Active-X errors through a good registry cleaner such as RegInOut.

Answer 3

Probably because of how many people are using it. There is at least a million viewers/videos. And, if you have a slow internet connection, it could be very hard to watch videos due to the long buffering time.

Answer 4

Youtube could often experience issues however sometimes your computer or internet connection could be causing it to be slow. If the videos are slow, try putting the videos into a lower quality-for example- 1080p might slow the video down. If you are using youtube on your phone, try using better WiFi or 3g, 4g etc. If none of this helps, YouTube may be experiencing some difficulties or further problems so it will have to be used another time.

Answer 5

Youtube is a mediocre website you should try a different video website that isn't so slow or maybe it could be a poor internet connection

Answer 6

Maybe it's because your computer might be freezing up
