<div dir="auto">Just based on that description alone, I’d say it might be possible you have some LAN congestion?
<div>Everything you’re talking about here is riding http/https.</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- Any recent QoS policy changes?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- Is other non-UC web traffic slower than normal from those PCs?</div>

<div>- Run <i>utils diagnose test</i> on the CLI of each server and see if you find any goodies ...</div>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">For the past week and a bit I have noticed a decline in UC (Call Manager) response time when editing/adding a device. The message 'loading' stays on for 5 to 10 seconds or even longer. Page refresh is also really
slow. In looking at RTMT the CPU/Memory/disk space are all around 50% or less with no apparent spikes. Any suggestions on where this lag could be?</p>
