OFFICIAL Game Running Slow

[badcompany_78]

reading through this thread it seems to me there are plenty of other people running into these issues currently. this is all I have done already:
CLEARED CACHE AND RESTART
CHECKED FOR UPDATES ON BOTH BROWSER AND LAPTOP
UNPLUGGED THE ROUTER AND RESTARTED INTERNET CONNECTION
I ALWAYS HAVE THE IMAGES COMPRESSED AND ONLY CROPS/POND/FLOWERS AND TREES SELECTED.
REMOVED UNUSED SOFTWARE ON MY PC TO MAKE IT RUN FASTER. (MY LAPTOP HAS THE REQUIRED STUFF TO RUN THE GAME
TRIED DIFFERENT BROWSERS (EDGE AND CHROME)
issues started on Tuesday evening 08/23
I have issues all over the game (quests, wall requests, planting, etc)
