Resolved Some websites loading slowly, some getting stuck

Suddenly today some websites started loading slowly, and some won't load at all -- they get stuck. That was with Google Chrome, but when I tried Internet Explorer, I had the same problem.

A week or two ago, I changed routers. But everything worked fine until today.

I ran an AVG antivirus scan and a Malwarebytes scan. Neither turned up anything very bad.

This is my laptop, and I did have to get an updated version of the driver for my wireless chip. But that's all that I remember being wrong.

The only other thing that seemed odd was a message at some point about the Shockwave plugin crashing. But I cannot find any problems with plugins. Perhaps I'm just not checking in the right place.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. Before I saw the suggestions, I tried to access the websites that I was unable to access before. They worked fine. Whatever the problem is, for now it is gone.

I suspect the problem will return, so I will leave everything the same. I cannot think of what might have changed between when I had the problem and now. It's puzzling.
