    Is it your broadband is slower than usual?
    What speeds are you getting?
    Does it improve if you drop the video quality down?
    Tried a different browser?
    Noticed anything else has slowed down or has changed recently?

    Could be one of many things, what machine and software are you using? If it's not your broadband connection, it maybe your storage failing or even malware.

    Change your broadband provider. If that doesn't work replace your laptop.
    Or try it the other way around.
