Make sure you are viewing the scene in Solid mode, it’s typically faster than all the other mode, including wireframe. If you are using physics simulations like particles or cloth, make sure they are baked. Otherwise, Blender will try to recalculate them every time you switch frames.
In respect to this, how can I make my animations faster?

Similarly one may ask, how do you speed up playback in Blender?
Why is Blender not using my GPU?
In Blender head to File -> User Preferences -> System. At the bottom left under “Cycles Computer Device” choose “CUDA” and you should see your GPU underneath. You need to be using the Cycles render engine for this to take effect.
Why is Blender playback so slow?
Then if you get slow fps in playback the bottleneck is somewhere else. If you get lag in just navigating view port check the OpenGL settings in User Preferences under System tab. Enable VBO. Between each frame, the scene has to be updated with all the objects inside – this happens on CPU.
