How to Speed Up Your Browser
When surfing the internet, there are two things that determine the speed of the page that is loading. The first is your internet connection which you can’t do much about to speed up. The second is the speed of your browser. There are things that you can do that will make your browser work faster.
The first thing that you need to do is to update your browser to the most recent version. Doing this will give you the most up to date security, functionality, and speed that the browser has. Updates have been made to improve performance so you might as well take advantage of them.
Be sure you also update your browser plugins. Many sites are using Flash and Java. These plugins need to be updated for security and speed as well. Many forget about these.
If you have a browser that can have addons, you might consider getting rid of the ones that you don’t need. Many times each of these uses a little bit of RAM and can start making your browser’s performance very low. The less of these you have, the faster you will be surfing.
Use an addon on called AdBlockPlus. This will block many Flash and Java elements on pages that you don’t need to be seeing. It will improve loading speed and performance. If you visit a site that takes awhile to load and has something like this on it, it’s likely the next time you go to that site that it will load much faster.
Increase your browser cache size. This will make hitting the forward and back buttons much quicker since those pages will be stored in your computer’s memory as opposed to reloading again.
For sites that are just too slow, consider using the RSS feed in a feed reader to view that content.
