Why is your website so slow?

The xfinity site has always been bad but is getting worst and worst. I cant even make a simple payment. The website is super slow. I click to make a payment and the window just stay blank.

I never have any issues with otehr sites but always, always have an issue with xfinity site. You really need to fix this. The service is terrible. Then you call to make a payment but you only get as computer talking saying to go to the website to make a payment. Is really the worst customer service I have expierence from a company.

Ha! What Xfinity needs to do is fix the site. [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. The 2FA is broke, you cant keep yourself logged in, let alone make it more than a few pages without getting asked to login again. your site is the only one out of the many many sites I visit with such a horrible user experience. I, like, many others I'm certain, let out a sigh of dread knowing we'll have to interact with one Xfinity's [Edited: "Inflammatory"] interfaces. [Edited: "Inflammatory"]

Get your act together Xfinity!

@XfinityAmira​ Your site has always been slow and still is! So, your last comment was two months ago. What has been done about the slowness of your site since then? You would think that an internet service company would be lightning fast! What gives? 

Current customer: [Edit: PII]

Also, why is my bill $54 more this month? it was $60 and now it is $114!!!! please send me an email with some better plans! Thank you, amira.

@XfinityAmira​  Is Xfinity trying to promote using their "App??" Is that why your website Internet speed is so slow? I find using a computer for most of my needs is much faster as I have a full keyboard, can use two hands to type, and maneuverability between websites is much easier on a PC.  So what gives with the non-existent high-speed internet service on your own website? 

I am trying to change plans, but OMG what a big hassle! My Internet service is going from $60 to $114/mo. How? Why? I am a student with very little income and yes, I am enrolled in ACP and saving $30/mo, but that is soon to end, in April 2024.

Since your last comment two months ago, what has been done about your slow website?

It's consistently been one of the slowest websites I deal with - the pages take forever to load, and often when viewing the Billing page many sections will often be missing from the page.  Reloads take upwards of a minute each time, too.  Doesn't matter what computer I'm on or which internet connection I'm using.

I agree. The website has never worked - either it's painfully slow to load, returns 502 bad gateway errors, won't allow a login, won't allow 2FA, gets itself into an endless loop trying to load a page, among other things. If you do happen to get logged in you'll have to continue logging in every few minutes (and risk a 502 bad gateway forcing a complete do-over). Consumer-facing websites for behemoth corporations are everywhere and all seem to work. Then there's Xfinity and it can't seem to get its act together to run a functioning site. I believe they do this on purpose, hoping to direct consumers to use the mobile app (which works fine). There is no excuse for Xfinity to have such a non-functional website - it's intentional.

@dreedpdx Thank you for your feedback. We definitely are not intentionally blocking access to our Xfinity website. The website has many features that enhance the value of our services. We always recommend clearing your browsers cache, and cookies. Ensuring your router has the latest firmware installed, is also often recommended.

Its comparable to dial up speeds

I want to comment on how bad the xfinity website is. It is far worse than dialup. It is essentially non functional. It's a roll of the dice whether navigating the xfinity website will load a blank page, force me to enter my login credentials again, or go to an error page. This needs to be forwarded to the web management team. It is not a problem with anything on any consumer's end. It is 100% a problem with the website.

Hello @user_hlr1nz  thank you so much for letting your thoughts be known and contributing to this conversation. When these issues appear( I'm assuming on all browsers)are you seeing any 404, 408 or 508 web messages indicating a timeout or failure to load? If so, how often is this happening?

Same issue here. The site is very slow to load and it's very difficult to change my plan because of this. Some pates, such as the customize your plan page, just sit on their loading screen, others, like the billing page take a few minutes to load and then sections within the page take even longer to load.  

I don't use this page often, so not sure if this is just an issue this morning, but it's been occurring for over an hour now.

Agreeing with previous comments. This site ranks near the bottom as an interactive portal for conducting regular business. Everything marches along at glacial scales, if at all. It has been this way for more than a year. Activities, such as bill pay or service revision are near impossible.

Regarding the recent announcement of the Xfinity security breach to their back end systems, If you have received such notification you will need to change your password.

Be forewarned after a password change, if you are experiencing issues in re-logging in to the service or simply unexpected behavior, you will need to flush your (particular) browser cache and then restart the browser session.

This will very likely solve any authentication issues, it will not however solve the painful pace in which Xfinity wishes to conduct its online business.

I agree with what everyone else has said here.  There are no other websites that load as slow as Xfinity.  I also received a "cannot load page" message and I had to click on the "reload" button several times just to get the "cannot load page" message again.  For a company that sells internet service, the Xfinity website is a terrible example of its abilities.

Do me a favor. Log on to your own website. Because after reading through all this it is VERY clear that you are trying to obfuscate blame onto the consumers. Despite a clear context of "it is simply your website". 
Rather than give us some backhanded remark about why it's actually our fault, our browser, or our internet (it's not, it's terrible on every browser, and every device, and my internet is running at 900/40).
Just log on to your own website. For 5 minutes. See with your own eyes how absolutely terrible it actually is. 
Because I'm on minute 20 of trying to load a single page right now. 

It loads horrifically slow on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, on PC, on Mobile.

Don't ask me what I'm using because it's THE WEBSITE. 

So go log on to it real quick and come back to me, then try to tell us why it's something we're doing.

xfinity tooling is sad. They de-activate my account randomly for no reason. Their '24/7' support is a joke, completely inaccessible. Their website cannot be traversed from any type of browser. If you have the choice, don't use them.

@rjt21 Thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Community Forums. Getting messages like "Access Denied" can be so frustrating, and I am sorry you have had this issue updating your payment method. Have you logged out of the website cleared your cache and cookies and logged back in? That tends to clear many issues.

@rjt21​ I too am having that same "Access Denied" error message. I have also had the multiple login prompts, I've had the redirected pages, the failed pages, the slow pages. The problem where you can pay your bill if you login on this button but not if you login on that button (that one was fun to problem-solve). 

I understand and appreciate how hard all the Xfinity personnel are working to solve individual problems. But even though you solve the "flavor-of-the-month" problem for this month, next month a new one emerges with the website. Every other month is a new hurdle that needs to be jumped, some new bug to be discovered, some new randomness that needs to be problem-solved. It feels very much like we're all here to beta-test the website every month. All I want to do is pay my bill, and I'm guessing Xfinity would love that, too. It should not be this hard to do so.

I'm not sure what causes the loading problems. I'd expect that from high-graphics platforms, but Xfinity does not have that, so it boggles my mind why it takes so long for it to find where it's going. 

Having worked in software development, I know bugs and unintended "features" happen when you put something out fresh. But the Xfinity website always seems to be in a state of flux, a state of development, and each new iteration does not improve it's state. It doesn't get to a stable plateau. And that makes it unpredictable and frustrating to customers. People here are not expressing just one problem. It's an ongoing array that has been happening for a few years now. They, too, just want to pay their bills, and not have it eat up their entire evening to do so.

I feel for all the people working at Xfinity in any capacity. It's not easy working in customer service. And most jobs nowadays are thankless and frustrating and pay very little. But I do thank you all for what you do. You are amazing. I would have preferred sending a private email to support, because I know these forums can become a piranha feeding frenzy, but there really isn't an option like that. And after years of this problem slowly getting worse and worse, I felt the need to reach out. Because it's pushing me away as a customer. It becomes too much work to pay my bill. It's painful enough paying bills with rising costs. Having to jump through hoops to pay it, just adds insult to injury. My dream is to login to Xfinity on the first try, look at my bill, and pay it within 2 minutes. That is what I dream.

Same here in software dev. Over the years it seems that they keep adding more features that are bloating the platform and load time. I have to imagine that they are lacking in some sort of testing prior to shipping changes/updates/features because even in the assumption that they are actively fixing problems, it seems that the page has gotten slower to load. At this point, they could drop all the artsy JavaScript animations and give me just a blank html page to pay. I would rate it 5 stars because then it would at least be functional!

Same here. I tried to make "quick" 🤣 payment before leaving for work today. I should know better by this point. It took 4 minutes just to load the billing page and then an access denied error when I tried to actually pay. Doesn't matter what browser or computer or mobile device I use, the website always reminds me of how horrible the dial up internet days were.

All of the above and then some, it's obvious from this thread as all the others like is that it's the website itself.  I think the real unaddressed thing here is that for most of us, its a monopoly so we don't have any choice but jump through a bunch of hoops to just to get them to take too much of our money for too little service because there's literally no other option.  The website is bad because it would cost them money to do something about it but it doesn't cost them anything to provide bad service to captive customers.

The original post was about a known issue after security updates. With it giving you the access denied message, have you already tried changing your password? There was a message asking customers to do so around that time and I'm wondering if it might be related. If you already have, can you send us a direct message when you get a chance so we can look further into it? 

To send a direct message:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

• Click the "Direct messaging" icon near the top right of the page

• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

• Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

• Press Enter to send it

Agreed. Every time I try to access the site it takes 2 minutes or more to load the login screen, then it takes another 2 minutes to load past the login screen. By the time it lets me interact with anything on the screen it is already logging me out, presumably by perceived inactivity. It takes 20 minutes or more to reach a rep on the phone because their automated service is bloated with unnecessary garbage. I am convinced I will never be able to see what my bill is actually. Let alone pay it. Xfinity has been shooting itself in the foot with how horrible this website is. I've tried primarily on chromium-based browsers and they are slow, but other browser quite literally say the website is unreachable. I've no idea how they can claim to have good services available for the customer when the customer can't even access said services!

@XfinityNicolas  Yeah, I think everyone is in the same boat.  Similar errors, similar circular loading.  For a company that's a multi-billion dollar company their website is terrible.  Just trying to look at my current statement and it keeps not loading.  Meanwhile, youtube is running great, can get to their billing in a flash.  It's almost as if you don't want people to see what their bills our so you can further your cash revenue.  People give up and go on paying the same bill...

Also, I changed to Edge, since I use Opera GX for everything, and it works great.  Edge is going smooth.  It's as if they just want you to use that browser..

user_4tm7pb - Clearing cache and cookies on your device, using another web browser, and/or trying from a device directly connected to your modem are all steps that might help. Happy to read Edge has been working for you. I am trying to replicate this issue on my side to no avail (using Chrome). The website seems to be working normally for me. I can log into My Account, and access bills.
