Comments.Text: Can you add some more information like your hosting platform, version of civicrm etc. Can you use a browser 'inspector' to ascertain what part of the process is running so slowly. Is this a public page, if so you could share the link and others might do the inspecting for you.

  Each year we sign members up for our organization. Have been using civicrm for 6 years. Past 3 with PayPal. This year the contribution page loads very slowly.
