Extreme long loading times Internet getters

Hello Community,
I need some help with my Project :frowning:
I rebuilt the weather station from here : How to Make Mini Weather Station for Beginner | ESP8266 | Wemos | Arduino - YouTube ; with the D1 mini... Since the change-over to the german wintertime the clocks ran false. After some problems with the Arduino IDE I succeeded updating the code.

Problem : After updating my esp8266 with the new code(havn't changed the updateData method at all) the loading times ("updateDate" method also for startup) for getting the time, weather and news increased extremly(from a few seconds,like in the video or by me before, up to nearly three minutes). :o After trying to upload the original(from the linked Video) and not my modified code it's still not getting better.

I hope you guys can help me. Thank You <3
PS: I tried different WiFi and tested a lot...I don't think the problem is located there.

did you update the esp8266 arduino boards package?

Yes I'm using this Link: http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json and the newest Version 2.6.2

so you started with a different version (2.6.2 is 2 days old now)
different versions of esp8266 arduino use different versions of Espressif SDK and there are some RF calibration data which don't match. it is recommended to clear the flash before upload after changing versions.
in Tools menu there is an option for Erase. set Full erase for one upload. it is possible it will not help immediately, because it only clears the data. following calibrations done by the esp8266 after some count of resets should make it perform better

Thank you a lot... it's working again like before. Your way didn't work as expected, also after a few more resets, but now I "downgraded"? the esp8266 board package back to 2.5.0 (I think thats the version I used the first time) and everything works just fine.

One more time I want to say thank you.
Addition: And I now know the eraser funktion for the next times :smiley:

2.5.0 is the most troubled version this year. and that is why you can't use the newer version. they use very different SDK versions
