My documents in the File Manager are taking too long to download.

Last updated by Sam Brown on December 09, 2014 22:22

  • Usually documents are very quick for users to download from your website. If it seems to be too slow, it will be either of these issues:
  1. The file size is too big. We recommend not uploading documents greater than 10 - 20mb large. Even though on a broadband connection this will only take a couple of minutes to download, in a shared network such as an office it will take longer. Keep documents at 5mb or less and they will be much easier to share.
  2. There is an issue with your connection. If you are suffering slow speeds to download files, browse or send emails, there may be a problem with your connection. This may be due to too many people using the connection, a fault in the line or a hardware issue. Speak with your IT specialist as they may be able to diagnose the problem. Going to SpeedTest will tell you how fast your connection currently is.
