All the browsers are basically configured to be dial-up friendly. But what about broadband users? yup broadband users will not be able to unleash the full power of their browser unless……they do a little tweaking.
The following tips will make Firefox and Internet Explorer load web pages quicker than before.Well i can guarantee that it’ll work with firefox but with IE……we’ll…
FireFox Optimization

Open Firefox: and load a webpage…see the time it takes to load the page

  • Type about:config in the adress bar
  • Filter with keyword ‘network’
  • Double click network.http.pipelining and set it to true
  • Double click network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to set value from ‘4′ to a higher value like 10

Now Try loading the same webpage and see the difference

Internet Explorer Optimization

  • Hkey_Current_User > Software > Microsoft >Windows >Current Version > Internet Settings
