Android apps slow on wifi but fast on mobile data

[Android Central Question]

Downloaded apps are slow to load content when I'm on our home wifi, but loads fast when I switch to mobile data. This only happens with apps, not with websites ex. Reddit app is slow but Reddit website is fast. Same goes with Imgur and 9gag apps. What gives? And how to fix it?

Also check the encryption. Some phone/router combinations have had problems with TKIP (or TKIP+AES). (TKIP is deprecated - it's less secure than WPA2 with AES.)

If you have to change it, you'll have to forget the connection, then connect again.

For anyone having this wifi issue on a Huawei phone, I solved it by disabling IPV6 addressing on my router. All apps now open and work at full speed!

I can attest to the IPv4-only fix. Disable the IPv6+IPv4 protocol in your router and set it to IPv4-only. This should solve the problem
