Make IE and FireFox go faster than ever
FireFox is cool - but it's *very* slow. So is IE.
There are ways to make both of them run faster, fortunately.
- If you want to make IE go faster - Go here.
If you want to make FireFox go faster, follow these steps:
- 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.maxrequests
Normally 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.
Alter the entries as follows:
- 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.
. - 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 receives.
If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!
