I don’t experience at all on Ubuntu desktop with this feature enabled.
WINDOWS 7 USING FIREFOX BROWSER RUNNING SLOW WINDOWS
you literally saved me…Įdit: Another observation… This drag I experience only on Windows XP at workplace. Its the least suspected place one would look for obvious reasons. But who knew that a feature purported to make the browsing experience faster may be the primary reason behind the drag experienced. All other attempts (clearing cache, cookies etc.) did not work for me. at least in my case… One can measure my level of frustration and disappointments by the fact that I had to switch my default browser because of the drag I had been experiencing off-late. Therefore, just untick any similar checkbox. In my Google Chrome for Mac, the settings is actually called “ Predict network actions to improve page load performance“. However, it is not the case here, while I still cannot explain why this is happening, just untick the checkbox to bring your Chrome back to its speedy glory. Or similar.Įveryone including me would have ticked this checkbox because it seems to bring only benefits and it sounds promising. Now, look for a checkbox called “ Use DNS pre-fetching to improve page load performance” or “ Predict network actions to improve page load performance“.

The main cause : DNS Pre-Fetching Featureįor old version of Chrome, the setting is located at Preferences > Under The Hood.įor newer version of Chrome, the setting is located at Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy Then, I started to play around with Chrome’s preferences until I finally found a fix. Of course, I am a Google lover so I wouldn’t switch my default browser just because of this. Today, I finally realized that the problem is with Google Chrome browser because when I tried surfing using Firefox, they can be loaded in seconds. I thought what is wrong recently because more than 50% of websites I visited are loading very slow, in fact sometimes they are not being loaded at all.
