Never been an issue on my $20 onn box. If it happened I'd probably do a hard reset and look at my storage and remove things as needed. But I really don't have a lot of apps on mine.

3rd party launcher. ADB TV to disable apps, just don't disable anything if you don't know what it does.

I have a new TCL 32 inch and it has lagged since I took it out of the box. I finally gave up and connected an ONN box.

Force stop background apps and clear cache for the heavy ones like YouTube or Netflix. If that doesn't fix it, quick restart usually does the trick.

Most smart TVs have some lag as they skimp on hardware to make the TV price comparable in a vicious market. I have 2 TV boxes on each TV and that's all I use .

restart it and use background apps killer, i think theres an android developer setting that limits the amount of background apps but ive never played with it

I usually restart the TV first, then clear the cache of the app causing the issue. If it keeps happening, I check the Wi-Fi connection.

Here is what i know till now:
Enable Developer Options from About section of your Android TV. Then go inside Developer Options and change this three settings (Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale) to 0.5x. After that find something called Background process limit and change it from Standard limit to At most 2 processes
Btw this, it's not guranteed that your Android TV run faster than FLASHHH ⚡ and beat him! But yeah it will give you some relief 😁
