Avoid Being Late to the Conversation
Slack is slow, or messages are not sending, for one of three reasons: Slack itself has a problem (check Slack’s status page), the app needs an update or a cache clear, or your internet connection keeps stalling. The last one is the common case, and it costs you: a message that lands five minutes after the thread has moved on makes you look absent when you are not.
Speedify is an app that runs Slack over more than one internet connection at once (office Wi-Fi and a phone’s 4G/5G cellular, for example), so when one connection stalls, messages go out over the other. Speedify needs that second internet connection: on a single connection it works as an encrypted VPN, does not make the connection faster and can be a little slower.
Speedify sends your messages and uploads over both connections at once
Below: what Speedify does for Slack, and the steps to give Slack a second internet connection.
How to Fix Slow Slack with Speedify
- Download Speedify on your computer or phone (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android).
- Open Speedify and create a free account (the free tier includes 5 GB per month), or sign in.
- Give Speedify a second internet connection: on a laptop, add Ethernet or a phone connected over USB next to the Wi-Fi; on a phone, keep Wi-Fi on and turn on cellular data.
- Connect. Speedify sends traffic over both connections at once and moves it to the working one when one weakens.
- Open Slack and use it as usual.
Fix Slack Messages Not Sending with a Second Internet Connection
With two internet connections running, a stall on one no longer holds up Slack: messages, file uploads and huddle calls keep going over the other.
