1. Make sure you are not running any other programs while you are on Club Penguin. If you were visiting another website first, make sure you exit out of it. Don't try to play Club Penguin while you are downloading music or video content from another site. This will slow things way down!

2. Sometimes things run slowly when the server is very busy. For example, Friday afternoon is a popular time to log in to Club Penguin. You might find that the game runs slowly then. Log in again, and this time try clicking on a server that isn't quite as full of penguins as the others.

3. Sometimes a computer has a bad connection to a server. When you are asked to choose a server on Club Penguin, try clicking on a country flag other than your own. You might get a better connection.

4. If you have more than four penguins saved on your log-in screen, this might make the game run more slowly. Delete one or two of these penguins. You can still log them in by typing in their name each time.

5. You might be playing from a slow computer. There's not much you can do about that except to play on a different computer. You might also have a slow Internet connection. Please read My connection is slow? to find out more about this issue.
