No matter how much Internet speed is improved these days, many people are struggling with slow browsing speeds. It is quite irritating if the web browsing speed is slow when you browse the Internet while traveling or during an important task.
Feeling very slow web browsing? There are many reasons for a slow web browsing experience. In this article, I have listed some of the best steps to avoid unnecessary things during web browsing and automatically speed up Internet browsing speeds.
1. Switch to a faster browser
Internet Explorer is the most popular browser; sometimes it loads slowly. Download a faster browser such as Safari, Opera, or Chrome to get a quick speed boost to your browsing.
2. Disable Your unused add-ons in your browser
In Internet Explorer, disable the ActiveX controller. The ActiveX controller causes the browser to prompt you each time you browse the web. Disabling the ActiveX controller can speed up the browsing experience a little bit.
3. Deleting the Browsing History
Delete browsing history. And click “Delete files…” under Temporary Internet Files to clear your browser cache. Click “Delete cookies…” to remove all cookies from your hard drive.
4. Use Download Managers
If you regularly download stuff from the web, then a download manager could save you loads of time. It speeds up the downloading speed of the file. There are many paid and free download managers available on the internet. EagleGet and Internet Download manager are popular among the list.
5. Use Password managers and Form Fillers
Use a password manager and form filler to save your precious time while surfing the net. Like LastPass, KeePass, and Roboform
6. Use open DNS
Use open DNS to speed up the browsing speed. Open DNS uses geographic information associated with IP addresses to help computers fetch data from the closest and therefore fastest server.
7. Use RSS feeds
RSS feeds are a great way to consume a lot of information in one place. Use a desktop RSS reader and download all unread articles for offline reading. There are many Feed readers available, Feedly is one of the best online feed reader applications.
8. Use “view as HTML”
Speed up loading times by using “view as HTML” for large-sized documents, eliminating unnecessary images and ads.
9. Use blocking extension
Due to the increase in advertising on websites, we see many advertisement banners. These ads use a lot of bandwidth and will slow website loading speeds. You can use ad blockers to block unwanted advertisements and trackers. Use a popular blocking extension like Adblock and Adblock Plus for your browser.
10. Disable active content
Disable active content if you’re still experiencing a problem with your browsing speed. Go to the “Advanced” tab in Internet Options. Uncheck the boxes beside “Play animations in web pages” and “Play sounds in web pages.” This action will reduce the load of animations on your browser, and you will experience faster browsing even on slow internet connections.
11. Use Google Fonts
Over 1000+ Google fonts are available to download on the fonts website. Download and install Google Fonts locally on your computer. This reduces reliance on fetching fonts online, speeding up website loading.
