Browsing is slow, apart from some sites, but Internet is fast

Hi, iknow there are some posts that are similar to mine but I have tried all that are on those posts and no help. I have used malware bytes, flushed my dns, turned router on and off but it doesn't help.

Strange part is that websites I visit often load fine (like facebook/Twitter) but only sometimes don't load. YouTube works perfectly fine. All the videos load and it doesn't take ages to actually get the page up. This problem is literally only on my pc, but I'm sure it is not any malware since I have put my pc through malwarebytes multiple times. I have also tried Microsoft edge, and that's not loading web pages either. Any ideas that will help?
Thank you

Use Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Performance monitor to observe what your PC is doing at any given time.

Open one of the tools and watch without doing any browsing. Then open some successful website (e.g., YouTube) while continuing to watch. Then close YouTube and go to some other site that is "slow".

The objective is to identify some app, process, or service that starts, stops, or hogs resources when browsing slows.

Could be some combination of things. Perhaps browsing slows because of some update attempt or backup process in the background.

Be methodical and keep notes. Find a pattern to the slowdowns.

Have you tried clearing "browsing data"?

Do you run any utilities such as "CCleaner"?

Go into the Windows Troubleshooter - See what it finds and does:

Press "WIN + I", select Update & Security > Troubleshoot.

Focus on one browser at a time and avoid having two different ones open simultaneously. Should not be a problem per se but the browser people all want their product to be the "King of the Hill" and who knows what all is being done to maintain being on top.
