Is your Internet speed slowing down?

If your Internet connection speed is not as fast as it used to be, it may be a problem with your web browser.

Here are a few things you can do to improve the performance of your web browser:

  1. Sometimes a web browser will work slower if it has too many temporary files. Please delete the Internet temporary files to help your web browser work better.
  2. Installed toolbars also cause a web browser to work slower. A toolbar is a row of icons and buttons on the top of your web browser. The most common used toolbars are: Google toolbar and Yahoo! toolbar. There are also toolbars that get installed to your web browser without your permission, as a result of spyware. It may be better for you to uninstall all the toolbars you are not using. By doing this your web browser will perform faster.
  3. Spyware and viruses can also slow down your internet speed. Please check if your computer has a virus or spyware by running a scan with your Internet security software or an anti spyware software.
  4. If you are using Windows on your computer, then you may also be using Internet Explorer as your web browser. You can try switching to a different web browser and test if it works faster. You can see our recommended web browser in the Cool Software section.
