| Re: Google News is very slow presenting the page | cscj01 | 5/23/10 2:39 PM | I don't believe so. Clearing the cache has no effect. Anyway, I clear my cache with every shutdown of Firefox. Besides, every other web site loads quickly. Only Google News is a laggard. |

| Re: Google News is very slow presenting the page | methode | 5/29/10 1:13 PM | yeah, usually it's either the cache or a plugin. |
| Re: Google News is very slow presenting the page | rufustherat | 9/21/10 1:03 AM | I had similar problem, Google news and finance started taking too long to load.

| Re: Google News is very slow presenting the page | Joel3 | 7/19/12 7:45 AM | In my case the page loads quickly but it takes a long time for links to be active.
