Check your internet connection speed
One of the usual reasons for slow browsing issue many PC users encounter is slow download speed. It is thus necessary that you check if your machine is getting the estimated download speed to know if the cause of your problem is related to it.
There are three terms that you must be familiar with when it comes to slow connection issue troubleshooting: ping, download speed, upload speed.
Ping refers to how fast your machine gets a response after sending out a request. Ping is often used by gamers to measure how fast response time of a server is when an application sends a request. A fast ping is ideal when using applications that require fast responses, like when playing an online game. The lower the number of ping figure is, the better. Ping is measured in milliseconds (ms) so the lower the ms unit you receive, the better it is when you’re playing online.
Download speed is what usually matters, especially for the huge majority of internet users around the world. Download speed is the rate your machine receives data from remote servers such as websites. The faster the download speed you’re paying your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for, the faster it is for your computer to pull data from websites. If your browser appears to linger longer when trying to load a website, download speed may be slow.
Upload speed refers to how fast your computer sends out data to a website or remote server. This speed is important when you want to save something to a cloud service, or when you are simply trying to save your photos or videos to a social networking website like Facebook, Instagram,Youtube, etc. It’s also good to consider upload speed when you are fond of video chatting.
Make your browser/s faster
Slow connection issues can also be caused by a bad browser or if browsing history cache has become too big. If a speed test confirms that your ISP is providing you with a fast download and/or upload speed but loading a website remains slow, your next move would be to check your favorite browser. There are a few things that you want to do as enumerated below:
- delete browsing history
- disable toolbars or extensions
- reset a browser’s settings to default.
