What causes lag? Lots of things contribute to lag. Most importantly is your Internet connection – if your Internet is really slow, any Internet pages (especially games) will load much slower. Internet browsers will also run slower if you have a large backlog of downloads, history and cache. An old computer or laptop, which could be clogged up with many unused files will also slow your whole system down, especially if it has overheating problems. The final cause (relating specifically to Habbo) are the people and furni in the room. If there’s a lot of animated items, or people are talking very quickly, your Internet may not be able to receive all the information quick enough.

When you’re on Habbo, the only way to avoid lag is to stay away from crowded rooms, and if it’s your own room, turn off the animations. If it’s still slow, try switching browsers, and if it’s still really slow, you may need to contact your ISP (or ask the person who controls the Internet in your house to do it!)
