Ok, this is a bit technical but useful if you’re using Firefox: PC Perspective / Amdmb Forums — Making Mozilla’s Firefox “FASTER”.
Here’s something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:
1. Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequestsNormally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really
speeds up page loading.2. Alter the entries as follows (right click on the entry and select “Toggle”):
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it
“nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is
the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it
recieves.If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages 2–3 times faster now.
Good luck and let me know if you’d like some help with this.
