Help Freezing problem in Chrome

Well, web based apps like Chrome and OneDrive (which my local library uses for ebook check outs and stuff). Seems when there are a bunch of images to download (like in Onedrive when loading up the main page or Chrome when loading some wikia page) the app will freeze for a few seconds, the border will flash red, then it'll be ok until it does it again, wash, rinse, repeat until the page is loaded. Why is this doing this and can it be fixed?
 
Not sure if that's slow connection.....If it is there's not much you can do.

Try clear cache on the apps that are hanging.

Might be system memory affecting performance:
  • Check settings..manage apps....running services. Then look at free memory. Also can look at time running as a subtle clue of what's been going on. Many services like launcher, tasker, widgets etc should never stop...If time running is less than time since boot in these type running services, that's an indication memory is squeezed.
  • Also check developer options..processes stats. See of the bar at top is all green (Good). If has some yellow and red that's another indication memory may affecting performance.
  • If memory is affecting performance based on above checks, , reboot may help. Also consider uninstall apps that install perpetual running service (widgets, tasker etc) if those apps are not important to you.

Finally, don't know why, but clearing cache in recovery can solve some performance problems

Ok, can't find Managed Apps. I have Wireless & Networks (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Data Usage, More...), Device (Sound, Display, Storage, Battery, Apps), Personal (Location, Security, Language & Input, Backup & Reset), Accounts (Google, + Add Account), and System (Date & Time, Accessibility, Printing, {} Developer Options, About Tablet). Apps under Device only lists what's installed and what storage memory is left. But the other, Process Stats shows a green bar at the top.

That tends to rule out memory problems.

Easy thing - clear cache on the app (in settings / manage apps is how it's called in my phone... maybe something like application manager in yours.

Next harder thing - clear cache in recovery....
Google: how to clear cache in recovery for [your device type here]
 
*forehead rubs* That should prove to be ... interesting since my tablet is an off brand. VitalASC Air 108, but, let me see... Yeah, a lot of pages where you can buy it but nothing with info on how to get it into recovery mode. >.<
