Https access very slow

[Guest]

I am running XP with all of the latest patches installed.

Everthing is fine except when I access https sites. It seems to take an age
to load the sites.
I am on an adsl broadband connection, my pc is an athlon 64 bit processor
with 1 Gb ram and I use a wireless usb card and router.

Anyone have any ideas please

Thanks

Using IE ? - Depending on your Security Zone settings and some
Advanced IE options, it could be related to certificate validation.

Also does your system use any type of Proxy ? - Some tools of
that type don't fully support the https protocol. Normally, a secure
website access shouldn't be noticeably slower than http.
When you visit an https site - does it appear in the Internet Zone
or have you added sites to the "Trusted" zone ? I would probably
start looking at how your IE Zone security settings are configured.

I don't use any proxy and I tried turning off the firewall on my wieless
router but it was still very slow. I will check the other settings

Thanks for the suggestions

It could be that it is having a hard time checking the Certificate Publisher's web site.

Try...

start --> settings --> control panel --> internet options --> advanced

Uncheck the following....
Check for publishers certificate revocation
Check for server certificate revocation
