Since WhatsApp Web became multi-device, that is, it does not depend on your mobile to work (as it did before), the data is transferred to the cloud to later reach the browser on your computer.

Therefore, there is a delay in the loading of chats and their messages, which can be a bit exhausting at times. This is, above all, more evident, with old chats. Like messages that are a few months old, or even years old. The synchronization of this data also depends on our Internet connection, so it can take even longer.
When we access the web version of WhatsApp, the first chats to be synchronized are the most recent, or what is the same, those that are higher up in the list of conversations. But, there is a workable solution to speed up this upload.
Tricks to load faster
The first method is to convert the old chat you want to consult to recent. This is as easy as sending a message to that conversation from your mobile, yes, do it before accessing WhatsApp Web. Thus, this chat will rise to the first position and load the first. It’s a little ‘tip’ that will get you out of trouble if you’re in a hurry. It is enough to send an emoji or sticker, or simply a text (we can reduce it to a letter). Later, access the web version and you will have that chat at the top.
If you cannot or do not want to send a message to that chat to prevent the other person from receiving a new one, there is an alternative: delete multimedia files such as photos, videos or audio that you do not need. Take your mobile, enter the chat in question and delete all large files. You could even delete messages you don’t need, no one will notice. Afterwards, access WhatsApp Web normally, the load will be faster without these elements that slow it down.
A solution for Android mobiles
On Android, we can take advantage of the option to clear the cache of applications to speed up loading. When we delete the WhatsApp cache, only the most important items remain, that is, the messages.
To use this trick, go to Settings > Applications > See applications, there look for WhatsApp and tap on “Storage and cache”. Then, press the trash can icon where it says “Clear cache”. And that’s it, then you can access WhatsApp Web and see how your messages are loaded sooner.
The slowness of WhatsApp Web when loading chats is one of the most obvious criticisms. Until developers manage to speed up loading through some platform change, we can use these tricks that will speed up the process.
