Brand new 5K iMac with maxed out specs so, I don't think it's my machine. Happens on all our machines unfortunately. :-(

OK it's not your machine ;-) I mentioned it because I have seen newer non-mac laptops be pretty slow.

Try wired instead of wireless to see if that is the issue. Try changing your DNS to Google's or OpenDNS and see if that helps.
