You might try this.

Press home button twice and you should see all the application screens that are open. Close them one by one by swiping upwards.

Then go to Settings>Safari and toward the bottom of the right hand page click on clear history, clear cookies and data.

Hopefully that should help.

Thanks I'll give it a go

Hi Stuart - welcome to the forum! In addition to the steps already suggested, you may want to 'Reset' your iPad (directions below along w/ some other useful maneuvers), if not already done. Also, in Settings - look at what may be 'activated', such as Bluetooth, items in the Notification Center, & what is on in iCloud - these processes if not needed might help to speed up your iDevice - good luck & let us know your results. Dave

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up):
a. iOS 6.x - press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.
b. iOS 7.x - find the offending app - then press and drag to the top of the screen - return to the home screen & try again.


2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.


3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.
