Stuck on TikTok when scrolling in Italy? These tips are pretty effective

To be honest, scrolling through TikTok in Italy can really drive you crazy. The videos keep spinning endlessly, or they freeze to the point of despair.

Why? Because you're overseas, and the internet has to travel a long distance to reach the servers in China. It passes through many nodes along the way, which naturally slows things down. Especially when watching high-definition content, constantly scrolling down makes it even more frustrating.

What should I do? I've tried several methods.

First check if TikTok has been updated. Then switch to a different network—try mobile data if Wi-Fi isn't working, as sometimes it's just a connectivity issue.

If it still doesn't work, you can try using an acceleration tool. For example, SpeedX, a network tool for overseas Chinese, specifically optimizes domestic internet speeds for overseas users. After using it, opening TikTok feels smoother. But it's not foolproof—it still depends on your internet service provider, city, and time of day. In short, it's not guaranteed.

I live in Italy year-round, so I don't care much about the broadband speed. What matters more is whether it's stable and has low latency.

When it gets stuck, I do it like this: Check if the Wi-Fi is not connected properly;

• Try turning off mobile data;
• Update TikTok;
• Clear the cache and restart;
• If it's still slow, turn on the accelerator;
• Don't watch high-definition videos when there are many people around.

For overseas users who frequently use domestic apps, stable connections are indeed the priority when accessing domestic networks. You might want to try SpeedX—it's just a way to optimize your network routes.
