4 Tips To Improve Browsing Speed & Improve Performance
FIX SLOW INTERNET – In this article, you will learn how to improve your browsing speed and improve performance.
There’s nothing more frustrating than attempting to surf the internet and enduring the endless waiting for web pages to load. Occasionally, it’s just a momentary hiccup, but more frequently than not, a sluggish browsing experience can be attributed to underlying issues. In 2020, the internet connection of the Philippines was ranked the ‘second slowest’ among the ten ASEAN countries.
This could be caused by background-running applications devouring a significant portion of your device’s resources, resulting in a slowdown of the entire system. Let’s examine the usual suspects:
1. Software Updates: Every piece of technology you own requires periodic software updates. Depending on your preferences, you can either manually update them or enable automatic updates. Regardless, your system is likely consistently searching for the latest updates.
The solution: Access the app’s settings and schedule automatic updates for times when you’re less likely to be active, such as overnight. This is preferable to completely disabling auto updates since they serve an important purpose.
2. Cloud Synchronization: Continuously transferring files, particularly large ones, can consume substantial resources in the background and consequently reduce your internet speed.
The solution: Customize your cloud settings to prioritize which types of documents are worth backing up and which aren’t. You might be surprised by what is being automatically synchronized. You can also set your backups to occur during nighttime hours.
3. CPU and RAM-Intensive Processes: Occasionally, your system runs background applications that can place a heavy load on your device’s CPU and RAM, subsequently impacting internet and browsing speed. Examples include video editing software, virtual machines, and other resource-intensive applications.
The solution: On a Mac, check the Activity Monitor and disable any CPU-intensive apps. On a PC, consult the Task Manager for the same purpose.
4. Streaming Issues: The classic start-stop frustration. Streaming content can strain your system’s bandwidth like few other activities.
The solution: Ensure you’re not streaming in multiple windows simultaneously. Reduce video quality to lower resolutions to free up some bandwidth. If the problem persists, consider downloading the movie or show instead.
