My transaction was stuck due to low fees, no RBF and I couldn't CPFP, the fee I had to pay the miners was quite high but it was 100% successful and so fast... I had the transaction completed within 20 minutes. Had the pleasure to be served by btcaccelerator.info, this site is a super. I was doubting the success rates but after reading all the reviews below I decided to try it. They are not wrong, this service works and its very effective.

With Sparrow wallet, you can use Replace by Fee
How do I increase the fee on a broadcasted transaction?[url]

Quote
A transaction’s fee can be increased either by replacing it (RBF), or creating a child transaction (CPFP).

To perform Replace by Fee (RBF), the transaction must:

Be in the mempool (not yet confirmed)
Have all inputs enabled for RBF (this is the default for transactions sent by Sparrow)
Have all inputs from your wallet
If all the above is true, then Sparrow will add a hover icon next to the transaction on the Transactions screen which looks like a hand with a cross above it. You can also right click to ‘Increase Fee’, which takes you to the Send screen with the transaction loaded, from where you can increase the fee (Sparrow may add another UTXO if there is insufficient change).

You can also use CPFP by spending the outputs of the transaction at a higher fee rate.

Replace by fee is helpful and you should always check that your broadcast transaction is RBF opt-in. It it is not opted in, you will not be able to use RBF to bump transaction fee later and you will have the only choice left, Child-Pay-For-Parents that are more expensive and harder to use for newbies.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Tremendous help.

btw viabtc.com has a free accelerator that may work for you.

if you want to share the tx that is stuck we can see if it will work with viabtc.

I have several transactions stuck in the mempool through Sparrow. The Sparrow help forum from their Telegram thread asked me to go to sparrownodevalidator.com so that my server receptor can be updated.  This sounds odd. Does anyone have any experience with sparrow's node validator and updating their server like this?
The sparrow help forum? Does such a thing exist? There are many scams on Telegram, there are many online scams too. Keep in mind that you shouldn't click on any random google search result you see when you type something.
Do not download anything from unofficial site and unofficial telegram channel, always verify every source that you check. Do not download any fake Sparrow wallet or you'll end up like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/168g5q8/sparrow_wallet_upgrade_and_sats_are_gone/
What server receptors should be updated? I don't understand.

Official Sparrow Developer: Craig Raw
Official Sparrow Wallet website: sparrowwallet.com
Official Sparrow Github page: https://github.com/sparrowwallet/

You can visit mempool.space to check bitcoin transaction fees.
You can use RBF (Replace by Fee) option to increase fee and get transaction confirmed soon.
You can use CPFP (Child Pays For Parent) if you can't use RBF but since you use Sparrow, you'll be able to use RBF, so, this function might not be interesting for you.

The site you shared with us has nothing to do with stuck transactions that site is phishing and please avoid accessing the site be very careful and don't use telegram to contact Sparrow support there are many scammers out there.

Here's the result after I checked the website it includes spyware and malware.

- https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/751555d784e98dff5dab0d5f0766ae7038ae4df4680efdefa7e6b6ac357f8e0f/detection

If you already access this site better scan your PC and let the anti-virus clean these malware/spyware/viruses.

As mentioned above by Charles-Tim, you should avoid the website in question. That's a scam.
If you have unconfirmed transaction, that's due to the low fee and nothing else.


Are you the sender or the receiver?
How much is the fee used for your transaction?

If you are the sender and you are in a hurry, you can bump the fee.
If you are the receiver and you in a hurry, you can do CPFP.

It is similar to the Sparrow website: https://sparrowwallet.com/

Avoid.

Sparrow support replace-by-fee to increase the fee.

It would be better to increase the fee of the last transaction until it is enough to get all the transactions confirmed.

Stuck transaction due to mempool congestion or error broadcasting the transaction on sparrow wallet which of this is your problem? Because I don’t trust any telegram handle. If it is node issue you can easily choose to switch nodes from the wallet application no need to go to any unknown site that could expose your keys or privacy too much
