My phone is absolutely CRAWLING today. Suggestions?

I’ve shut it down a couple of times. Still everything is taking forever to open.

IPHONE 6 S
Running Safari
Not on WiFi but it’s not usually this slow.

Any ideas?

1. I just imagined your phone creeping slowly across a table, which gave me the heebie-jeebies.

I have the same model phone, also running Safari, and it's fine. Maybe its memory is used up. Have you tried a hard reboot?

3. 32G 17+ is still available

How does one do the hard reboot you speak of?

This isn’t like a reset where I loose all my contacts and everything else is it?

5. Hold down the on-off switch and the home button together for at least 10 seconds.

After that the Apple logo will appear and the phone will reboot. You won't lose any data. I've done it a couple of times when my phone hung up and wouldn't respond.

According to this, what I described is a "soft reboot," and a true hard reboot will erase your data but you have to go through several deliberate steps to do it. It won't happen accidentally. https://www.ubergizmo.com/how-to/how-to-reset-the-iphone/

10. It worked better today

Maybe it had a case of the Mondays.

Oh and thank you.

9. The best way to accelerate any Apple product is 32 feet per second squared.

Sorry...
