Increase your browsing speed

Internet browsers are designed in such a way that they support fast and quick browsing. But then with a few tricks we can still enhance the browsing speed of browsers such as Firefox provided by Mozilla and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.


The speed change may not be as noticeable to Broadband users because broadband connections are high speed connections. But the speed increment will be highly noticeable by dial-up connection users. This trick does not require you to be an advanced technician with loads of technical knowledge. A average user also can do these simple registry tweaks. Here we go :


For Firefox

In the address bar of Firefox type in the following about:config

A configuration page opens up with various parameters.

Right Click on network.http.pipelining parameter and select Toggle option. The value changes to True.

Similarly change the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests parameter to 30.

Right click and select New >> String

Enter preference name as nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to zero(0).

Now see your browser speed increase.


For Internet Explorer

Open Run function from START menu.

Type regedit and press enter.

Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER >> Software >> Microsoft >> Windows >> Current Version >> Internet Settings

Change the decimal value from 0 to something higher (for eg. 10).

Close the window and you are done.
