Could also be something else on your system.<br />
<br />
Try running <b>top</b> (or equivalent) on the command line + see if CPU is spinning.<br />
<br />
Also check Chrome task list (settings -&gt; more tools -&gt; task manager) + see if one or more threads are spinning CPUs.<br />
<br />
Spinning == &gt;100% CPU usage.<br />
<br />
You can debug DNS on the command line, with dig or nslookup.<br />
<br />
This will tell you if DNS is running slow for some reason.

<div>
Hardware acceleaction is switched off with no improvement<br />
<br />
Chrome is running Version 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit) which is apparently latest version<br />
<br />
During the issue Chrome is running at 0.2% CPU with 67% available<br />
<br />
DNS seems ok, as IE and Firefox run without issue
</div>


<div>
Provide an exact URL of one page where you see the problem.<br />
<br />
Maybe there's some odd interaction with a page's broken HTML + Chrome.
</div>


<div>
<b>Chrome 63.0.3239.108</b> shows to be latest version, so first upgrade Chrome + see if problem persists.<br />
<br />
If problem persists, please post an exact URL of a page where you see this problem.
</div>


<div>
Sorry for the massive delay in response :-(<br />
<br />
Any url is effected, BBC, Google, anything :-S<br />
<br />
Firefox and IE are fine.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?
</div>

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We seem to be having an issue with Google Chrome on our network. When you load it everything seems fine, then when you goto the first page it takes about 2 minutes to load, surfing while on that domain seems fine, however try to goto another domain and you can start waiting again. It sounds like DNS however Firefox and IE work fine, its just Chrome.<br />

Chrome slow to load

Chrome is a free web browser created by Google. Originally released in 2008, it has grown to become the most used desktop web browser (as of October 2016).

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
