Hi! I’m Frank Taylor, here to help you get your Belk app or website working smoothly again. I understand that the site has been very slow and hanging, especially when you try refreshing with F5. Just to clarify first: Is this issue happening mostly on the Belk website using your browser on Windows 10, or are you also experiencing slowness in the Belk mobile app? And when you say “hanging on page change,” does the page freeze completely or just take a long time to load?

Once I have a bit more detail from you, I can guide you through some effective troubleshooting steps. Meanwhile, here are some simple starting points for slow website loading:

1. Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes old cached data causes loading delays. In your browser, go to settings and clear cache and cookies.
2. Try a Different Browser: See if the issue persists when using another browser like Chrome or Edge.
3. Check Internet Connection: Ensure your network is stable. A slow or intermittent connection can cause websites to hang.
4. Disable Browser Extensions: Some extensions can interfere with page loading. Try disabling them temporarily.
5. Restart your computer: This can clear temporary glitches and free memory.

If it’s the Belk mobile app, common fixes include clearing the app cache, ensuring the app is updated, or reinstalling the app.

Let me know your answers about website vs. app, and what you’ve already tried, and I’ll help you from there with more tailored steps or deeper diagnostics!

online using windows 10

Thanks for confirming you’re using Windows 10 and accessing the Belk website online. Since you mentioned slow loading and hanging when refreshing (using F5), let’s focus on optimizing the browser experience on your Windows machine.

Here’s a simple step-by-step you can follow:

1. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:
- Open your browser (e.g., Edge, Chrome).
- Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data.
- Select “Cached images and files” and “Cookies and other site data.”
- Click Clear data.
This removes stored website data that can sometimes cause slow loading.

2. Try a Different Browser:
If you normally use one browser, try another (Edge, Chrome, Firefox) to see if the problem persists.

3. Disable Browser Extensions:
- Extensions can sometimes interfere, especially ad blockers or privacy extensions.
- Temporarily disable them and reload the Belk website.

4. Check Internet Speed and Stability:
- Run a quick speed test (e.g., speedtest.net) to ensure your network is stable.
- Restart your modem/router if you see very low speeds or instability.

5. Update Your Browser:
- Make sure your browser is fully updated as outdated versions may not load newer website features correctly.

6. Restart Your Computer:
This helps clear background processes that might be slowing things down.

If you’re still having issues after these steps, it could be a temporary server or site issue. You can also consider using the Belk desktop app for Windows from WebCatalog, which offers online shopping features optimized for Windows devices1.
