Lag in chrome and other manually installed browsers

Karthik1 — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 03:36:53 GMT

I bought xperia c4 last week and the entire phones performance is lag free. However during browsing be it in chrome or other browsers there is a considerable lag. Phone takes 2 to 3 seconds before responding to the touch/swipe.

I feel this lag in every browsing session. Does anybody else face this issue? How to solve this?

Chrome is a heavy app and will lag on most mid-range phones, but if you experience this in all your browsers are you sure it's not a connectivity lag?

No its not a connectivity lag. The lag I am talking about is not about content loading. Its about the phone response to my swipe and touch. It stutters as if there is no enough ram. But I have more than 500 mb free.

It happens only in browsers. Not just in chrome. In other browsers as well.

Connectivity on the other hand is really really fast.

To add, even in WiFi my browser lags.

Let's start with Chrome then, try to clear its cache and test again:

- Go to Settings -> Apps -> Chrome -> Force stop and Clear cache.

There was about 180 mb cache in chrome and after I cleared it works much better. Similarly for other browser. Thanks for the help.
