      @leocg - No, what I notice is when I enter a page (same website or different) , or when I click 'open in another tab' or with the mouse middle key. This is not happening every time.

        @popinjay01 Be my guest, you won1t be missed. you know, if you can't explain the problem, they will not be able to reproduce it and, therefore, will not have how to fix the problem.

          @bmpf Okay, so it doesn't happen only if you open a page through a search page?

            I've tried a few pages here and Opera seems normal, no serious slowness noticed.

              @leocg No.... its a very weird behavior. Sometimes is snappy like always, sometimes takes longer. At the moment its not frequent. Maybe my antivirus was scanning the opera files after the update.... Maybe that's why it was taking longer. I ll test it more...

                @leocg LOL!! You don't even work for Opera and you have the arrogance to threaten me and likely others, that they'll be banned from this forum?

                I see through clowns like you every day.

                You have nothing to do with Opera, so you can't help myself and others who are having this problem, so I respectfully suggest that you butt out and leave it to the big boys who actually CAN fix it.

                  I also had the same problem earlier for which the page loading was slow and if I clicked a link on the google search it was loading for like 5-10 seconds. But at least for now after going back and forth between version 69.0.3686.49 and 70.0.3728.106 I don't see the problem on the latest version anymore. I hope it somehow fixed itself.

                        I'm having exactly the same problem (Windows 10, latest Opera version). If I click a link from Google result, it takes 5-30 seconds to load the page. Sometimes it just gets stuck and doesn't ever load the page. I have been using the Opera since 2001, but this bug is a deal-breaker for me.

                          Do a test. Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser", and install. Test in that Opera, but do not import anything, do not enable Opera Sync, do not install any extensions, do not enable adblocking, and do not turn on Opera's VPN?

                          If you still have the problem, as a test, create a new user account on Windows, log into it, do a standalone installation there, and test Opera there. The problem might be limited to your user account.

                          This sounds similar to the issue mentioned at https://forums.opera.com/topic/31561/solved-website-loading-lasts-lond-with-cpu-load-on-cryptsvc, but not quite the same. How old of a build of Windows 10 is everyone on? Anyone having this problem not on Windows 10?

                            @Minotus said in Opera slow after an update:

                            If I click a link from Google result, it takes 5-30 seconds to load the page

                            The same thing is happening to me for a few weeks now.

                            It happens everywhere: opening a link on a pge, opening a Speed Dial link, opening a link on a new tab.

                            It's really inconsistent. It doesn't happen on any other browser.

                              @burnout426 The hard part is that I would need to use that stripped version of Opera for few days until the loading get stucks. I use Lastpass constantly, so I would also have to start copy pasting all the usernames and passwords during that test. That means hundred of copy-pastes a day.

                              It is not consistent and happens pretty randomly. And like @ab-garcez said it also happens from different sources, like clicking link from whatsapp etc. I also noticed that If I close the problematic tab and re-click the link, it does not fix the issue. Sometimes waiting for few minutes can help and then the link is opening fine again...

                              I do not have Opera VPN enabled and Lastpass is only extension that I use. (beside the Operas own Ad-block).

                                @Minotus You can install LastPass in the test Opera if you want and just make the assumption that it's not the culprit. That way it'd make it a little easier on you to test in that Opera. Up to you though. You could also disable it in your normal Opera right when you get the problem to see if it makes any difference.

                                  Same here.
                                  Opera is to slow. Tabs take long time to load, pages are unresponsive.
                                  Version:74.0.3911.203 - updated today.

                                    @bmpf my problem is even worse. I did notice Opera is using a lot of memory.
