What causes Facebook to lag or slow down

Please check your device.
Access is concentrated on the operator’s server
Please check the official website and Twitter to see if there are any glitches due to concentrated access to the operator’s servers.
Facebook may be slow or laggy if the operator’s servers are under more load than expected.
Go to Facebook Official website.
Information about the game being heavy or laggy is also sent out on Twitter. Please check here as well.
During major updates or the start of new events, access from other users may be concentrated.
Maybe that is what is causing the glitch.
The network environment is not stable
Make sure that the network environment of the smartphone you are using is stable.
If your network environment is not stable, Facebook may be slow or laggy.

What to do if Facebook lags or slows
If there is not enough free space in smartphone storage
If your smartphone is running out of storage space, please delete or uninstall unnecessary applications, photos and videos.
Removing (uninstalling) unused apps will resolve the lack of free space and may resolve problems with Facebook being laggy or slow.
Cases where access is concentrated on the operator’s server
Please allow a little time if access is concentrated on the operator’s server.
Try waiting until other users’ access has calmed down.
Doing so may resolve the problem.
When the network environment is not stable
If your network environment is not stable and Wi-Fi is turned on, please turn Wi-Fi off.
