Why is this website SO SLOW?!

[Isabelle-Gerry0]

Airbnb's website/platform is one of the worst I've experienced. 

It feels like every time I click on something I have to walk away for coffee and by the time I come back, I forget what I was doing! It's SO slow. The calendar is a mess. The pricing is a mess. I have to click through a bunch of things to get to something so basic. And sometimes... I'll update prices and availability... and hit save and..... IT WON'T SAVE.

😐 You'd think a billion (??) dollar business would be able to have a website that works. And the burden of the torture is on the hosts which is probably why they don't care to fix it all these years.

Hi Rebecca1194, Wow!  Thanks for the TTFB response! Didn't know it even existed.  Goes to show reading this forum is not only therapeutic lol but informative.

Does anyone know if there has been any more recent troubleshooting around this? I also have a new, fully loaded mac book so it's not a software issue. It's on the AirBnB side. In addition, I have constant issues with the mobile app (calendar won't load, etc.). Any suggestions?!

Amazing how they have not addressed this considering this post is from 2018... Time for a new player when the incumbents get lazy.

Hardest platform to use, ever. Non-intuitive design, finding how to change something in a listing description is a pain even after _years_ of using it -- especially when you have to waaaaaittt soooooo loooong after clicking anything.

Hi Lukas204, You are soooo right, we need to talk to someone here in Japan at Air Bnb in order to offer a  returning guest a special deal because it's just so clunky, reminds me of Sony software.

SPINNING WHEEL OF DEATH IS THE DEFINITION OF AIRBNB'S SITE

SLOWEST INTERFACE EVER

UX EXPERIENCE VERY POOR

All I can do is pile on, with the hope that someone's paying attention.  They're on AWS, but they obviously selected the bronze service tier.  Since they still can't seem to turn a profit, I wouldn't expect improvements anytime soon.

Follow up: I've been trying for two days to download an earnings summary for tax filing purposes.  I get "internal server error" and the too-cute-by-half "oops" graphic every single time.  I've lost count of how many times I've tried to get that document already, to no avail. 

Filing taxes is a tedious enough exercise without Airbnb's crippled web stack making it impossible for me to download critical documents.  Totally infuriating.  Worse, Airbnb has -nothing- to say about this to those of us who drive the business and suffer with this glacial website.

 Hello Ryan63,

Is there a landline you can actually call or even email someone your problems? You are a customer who is putting money in their pocket!

Could it be that there is something like 4 million people staying at an Airbnb place every night?

Hey, what do I know?

Omg. As a host I am absolutely SICK of how painfully slow this website is. It really does cause flashbacks to dial-up days where I would keep a book at my desk to read while waiting for websites to load, except now I just open other websites and get other things done while I'm waiting for single AirBnB page to load. How are they not embarrassed at how awful this is? I mean, really? It's TWENTY-TWENTY, GUYS. Oh and btw, this thread is two years old now. Get your **bleep** together.

Slower now than ever. 2020.02.21

Why AirBnB doesn't care. It is one of the most frustrating experience trying to update new pricing for my unit. Booking.com, vrbo web sites are much faster therefore I think many condo owners will be leaving AirBnB soon.
