Troubleshooting RosterElf slow performance issues

If you notice slower-than-usual performance with your RosterElf account, it is likely due to local factors rather than an issue with RosterElf itself. RosterElf performs hourly speed tests to ensure optimal application efficiency. This guide offers troubleshooting tips to help you identify and resolve common factors that may be affecting your experience.
