Hi members of this forum,
I’ve been trying to complete my FAFSA application online, but I’ve noticed that the website is incredibly slow. It’s taking a long time to load pages and submit information. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I’m curious to know why the FAFSA website seems to have such slow performance.
The FAFSA website can be slow due to high traffic, especially around peak times when many students are trying to submit their applications. It might also be experiencing technical issues or updates. It’s frustrating, but sometimes waiting for off-peak hours or trying a different browser can help.
Use incognito mode and it will fix it from my experience
The new FAFSA form launched recently, causing website slowdowns for students and families trying to complete it.
Especially in the fall and spring, when there are a lot of applications, the website is usually sluggish. The FAFSA is used by millions of families and students, which causes traffic. The site receives a lot of traffic during peak periods, such as the beginning of the application period or the approach of deadlines. Performance may be slowed down as a result of numerous people attempting to visit the website at once. There could be maintenance going on with the FAFSA website, causing technical problems that could impact its functionality. Slower load times may be caused by server overload or resource shortages. There are situations where a device or browser can be the cause of slow performance. It may be helpful to try a different browser, update the browser, or clear the cache.
