Check "My Games" and "Tools" for updating games. Actual Steam may be updating too.

Try shut down some programs too , it might slow down your computer not the internet. If it slow down the internet check if steam is updating as GiacJr said.

Oh lawd.
Anywho, if your Internet is slow, think "What could be using up my bandwith?"
Always works.

Sorry Hayden but I r no pro :3 Or know any thing about these things

It is NOT the computer, I need to refresh like 2 times to the page show, because like if I go to a site like GOOGLE first it doesn't show (shows error page) and then if I refresh it does show :gd:

Maybe might be that.

If you have a firewall, it may be preventing Steam from accessign the itnernet easily, therefore slowing down the rest of your bandwidth with it. try addng Steam.exe or whatever to your allow list (i dont know of the ports, you probobly need to add those too)

I just figured out it's not speed :rofl:

It's just I can't acess the page when I go into it for first time (If i am lucky shows up right away), i need to refresh.
