[Office 365] OWA - Slow Performance

[Cache]

Hi

 

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed any performance issues with OWA over the last month or so?

 

I tend to use Outlook but noticed when using my admin account that the computer would generally start to grind to a halt. Thought it might be my PC but now a couple of other staff have reported the same thing.

 

Just curious whether it's me or a bigger thing?

I haven't noticed it on OWA as I don't use it because it's pants but I have noticed OneNote online is terribly slow recently, could be connected?

Does it happen at certain times? Is there a pattern? Whats it like external to your network? What are your bandwidth graphs like when the problem occurs?

Everything else appears to be working fine, I'd probably describe it more as a memory leak in that while it takes a while for OWA to load all it's bits and pieces in, the longer you leave it open the worse the performance of the PC generally gets.

 

I've not noticed it as much at home, but I only pop on briefly and then log off rather than leaving it open for an extended period of time - will need to have a play further I guess.

hmmm, i thought they had got over that issue. I know i sometimes sit with OWA open on my machine in Chrome or IE and don't have any issues though i have allowed / white listed outlook.office.com & r4.res.office365.com which seem to be the 2 that are needed for Outlook client and OWA.

 

Is it browser specific?

I'll have to do some more digging and see is the honest answer to that, was one of those things if others were experiencing it/had a solution then it would save me some time.

OWA is definitely a memory hog - I've seen it use 300MB plus. I suppose in fairness it's a pretty complex web app with lots of functionality but on a modest machine that's a lot of RAM.

Quite a few of my colleagues have been complaining about it recently. It takes a while for everything to load so that you can browse properly or open an email, sometimes it gets completely stuck. I would agree that the longer you're working in it, the worse it seems to be.

Yeah a few people have reported that here. Seems to be our older machines it happens on. Definitely gets worse the longer it’s open, affected users just reboot now.
