 Q. Why is the Tor Browser slower than my other browsers?
 
-A. Using Tor / the Tor Browser can sometimes be slower than directly connecting to services. This is due to your traffic being routed through 3 (or more if using onion services) relays around the world, before going to your destination. However, the Tor network has become much faster over the last few years and this may not be noticable for many types of uses.

This is due to your traffic being routed through 3 (or more if using onion services) relays around the world, before going to your destination. The Tor network has over a million daily users, and just over 6000 relays to route all of their traffic. The geographical distance and the load on each server make Tor a bit slower than what you may be used to.
