iPad is slow to load websites

triathloncoach · Jul 28, 2012

Its a first generation, bottom of the line model about 2 years old.

It's getting slower and even slowerer with loading website pages.

I thought about throwing it on the ground and stomping it with my Blackhawk tactical boots, fucking Tren, but then I thought I would ask some of my juicer geek friends.

Thanks in advance to all you geeks who juice.

unlock it/jailbreak it with green poison and download off cydia one of the other web browsers. Safari is shit IMO

Bad advice for a first gen iPad IMHO. I also own a first gen iPad and it gets slower with every iOS update. Have you been updating it each time one is available?

Don't get me wrong, jailbreaking is awesome. My iPhone 4S is jailbroken. But I tried to jailbreak my iPad and it was just too old. Everything got slower, half the Cydia apps didn't work right. It's just outdate, nothing really to do about it but buy a new one. Although at this point, I would just wait 6 months for the next one to come out.

One option would be to downgrade your iOS to a previous one with less features in hopes that it would run faster. That may or may not help.

I appreciate the advice. My software says up to date. How would I back it up to a previous version?

Thanks

Here is a decent tutorial with links to a few previous iOS versions.

Downgrade iOS 5 To 4.3.3, 4.3.5 On iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 2, iPad 1, iPod touch [How To Tutorial] | Redmond Pie

[disclaimer]Again though, this may help, but it may not. The original iPad is just outdated and while this may help it may not bring it back to the speedy performance you expect. [/disclaimer]
