Seeking advice - Slow internet connectin - what can be done?

Software
1

Debian 12 with Gnome 43.6
My internet speed is 35 Mbps
My web browsing on all three - Firefox, Chormium, Web(Epiphany) - has a long loading time regardless the amount of add-ons operating.
Any advice on why and what can be done?
Thank you

There is an awful lots of reasons you have technical issue about slow internet connection, let’s cross one of the list
It could be something about ipv6 prioritized over ipv4, you can disable ipv6 and try again :

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1

thank you @fralb5
Before I initialize the command - what is the way to resume normality…
I hate being in a position of starting something and then not knowing how to go back…
Cheers for your help

to revert you just have to replace the disable_ipv6=1 by disable_ipv6=0
but it’s not a permanent solution staying after a reboot, it’s only for a temporary test

Some basic questions first:

  1. Are you using Wi-Fi or Ethernet?
  2. How many other users, if any, also use the same access point?
  3. Does this issue still occur with other operating systems, such as a PureOS live image on a USB drive?
