Slow dice rolling

I'm currently in multiple games of D&D fifth edition. I play in 2 and am the DM in the third. In all 3 games, the character sheets are slow to respond. Taking anywhere from 4-10 seconds to roll dice for each roll. In addition to that, I notice that rolls in which others make during the time it is attempting to make my rolls, the game pauses. Meaning, I cannot see others' rolls until mine have finally finished registering. This is a fairly recent problem, starting about 1-2 months ago, that wasn't much of an issue until I started having to make multiple attacks with creatures. The cumulative roll time made the session go much longer than intended. Hopefully someone knows of what could be causing this issue and a way to fix it.

Is this a long running campaign out of curiosity? If it's an extremely large campaign or if there's been a lot of dice rolls made in the past and/or your chat log has gotten long in the tooth, it might be dragging your campaign to a crawl. Could you please carefully work through the first three steps of our guide to Solving Technical Issues to ensure that something simple isn't causing the problem? Step 1: Make sure to use the right browser Please check if these issues persist when using both Chrome and Firefox. Step 2: Ensure that there are no extensions/addons interfering with Roll20 Please disable all add-ons/extensions and anti-virus programs. Step 3: Clear your cache If none of the above succeeds, please thoroughly work through Step 4 . (Don't forget the complete Console Log!) Each player should post a separate report for Step 4 here in this thread. Thank you!
Also, LastPass in Chrome has a known issue with slowing roll20 to a crawl. Try opening an incognito window (Ctrl-Shift-N), then load roll20 in there. If that fixes the issue, then some kind of extension was causing it. Because of the LastPass behavior, I now run all my games in pn0y mode to avoid those kind of issues. Of course that also messes with extensions used to hide rolls from players in 5e Shaped. If that's your setup you may need to run in a "roll20-only" Firefox instance with minimal extensions. LastPass in Firefox doesn't have the issue as far as I know, by the way.
This was a great help, thank you. I turned all my extensions off (I had lastpass on) and the rolls were made instantly. Thank you wonderful people so much.
