IPad experts please help

My Ipad is about 3/4 years old, works great. I use an ATT Cellular account to connect to the Interwebs. But none of that explains why lately my IPad only loads about 3 entries while I use Facebook. Plus (Apple) wants to update to be able to sync to a smart phone. I still don't have one of those. Just looking for ideas. Should I reset? (I did and nothing changed) ,go to the Apple store or maybe one of you has experienced this same thing? All other sites I surf on the IPad (including this one) work well. I'm stumped..........
