I really don’t understand why my Plex server loads so slow whether it is on the web or on the phone app. It is far slower on the phone app. Once you start playing something, it streams fine, no buffering, but I never understand why it takes so long to browse through the libraries and get those posters to appear. I have a Windows 10 PC with the latest Plex version, i7 CPU, 8GB RAM, SSD drive, 100mbps up/down fiber connection. Anyone have tips on how to speed up loading posters and libraries while browsing?
