How to Speed up Firefox page loading

well ! i put 30 ! kinda slow little bit !!

 

did you shut down Firefox webbrowsing then start it back up? you need to do this in order to take affect.

you can make the max request to whatever you feel is suitable

 

lol ! yeah ! !

i don't know but since i did the tweak my " msconfig " can't be load !

it open and close in a sec !

 

just want to say that this tweak was on Leo Laports Call For Help which i watch and seenhim talk about.

 

Leo Laports is the best !!! miss that show Call4Help !

thanx for your help. you mentioned earlier in this post that it won't hurt to ask your ISP for a little boost. well, what do you think i should say to them to give me this increase in speed. btw, i use roadrunner cable. thanx for your advice.

 

can we do the same tweak with Internet Explorer ??

speed up IE ?? can we ?

 

I found this on google, but comes at a loss :

Speed Up IE4 and 5--- But At Your Own Risk!

I had a long internal debate with myself about bringing you this
tweak. On the plus side, it can significantly speed the loading of
complex web pages--- Internet Explorer will load these pages *much,
much* faster. But the downside is that the tweak makes IE non-
compliant with the HTTP1.1 spec. If you employ this tweak, you'll be
making your browser nonstandard.

The HTTP 1.1 spec limits the number of simultaneous connections any
one browser can make to a given server. It's a way to ensuring there
are enough connections to go around. This IE tweak turns off IE's
built-in compliance with this standard, and lets your copy of IE open
far more simultaneous connections with a server. This means your
browser can grab many chunks of a web page at one time, speeding load
times. But it also makes your browser a connections "pig," consuming
more than its fair share of server connectivity. It makes your
browser a selfish net entity.

But this tweak is public knowledge now--- reader John Collins dug it
out of the Microsoft Knowledge Base, for example (thanks, John!)---
so I'll tell you about it, with a caveat.

This tweak can be useful as a temporary setting, or for
troubleshooting. But I do NOT recommend it as a permanent thing. Slow
web pages are usually caused by something other than the number of
allowable connections. (Look at my newly-tweaked http://www.langa.com
to see how fast pages can load with no browser weirdness at all, for
example.)

But if you want the tweak and aren't concerned about taking more than
your share of connectivity, here are John's instructions:

In Windows 2000:
1. Open Regedit (Start-->Run--> and type 'regedit' [without
quotes] )

2. Navigate to the following folder:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings

3. Find the keys that say:
MaxConnectionsPerServer
and
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server

4. Change the value of both keys to some higher number

In Windows 9.x
1. Open Regedit (Start-->Run--> and type 'regedit' [without
quotes] )

2. Navigate to the following folder:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings

3. Create the following "DWORD" :
MaxConnectionsPerServer

4. Set the value to any high number (the default is 2)

5. Creat the following "DWORD"
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server

6.Set the value to any high number as well (the default is 4)

to gstar20: tried it before and it worked just fine, both in ie and firefox so that's not the prob, even two different computers to control the difference. The only thing i fear is that it's a nightmare for a lot of webmasters...

i just think it's worth a discussion, i'm running an intranet-site @ my office. It's just a local site but i wouldn't be in a happy mood if people would take it down. Troubles with webservers aren't just caused by viruses, tech probs or spyware. Also a huge number of requests can cause this and it's really hard to secure yourself for this in an affordable way. Most of these servers can only handle a limited number of requests. Quite likely what will happen if everyone tweaks his system.

So it's not the quality of your tweak that's on the discussion. It's just that the limited number of requests has a reason so let's not exaggerate with this max and with the spread of the tweak because it's quite likely that future firefoxes and ie's will be protected against this if we use it too much...

btw the same article said that it's possible in f.i. apache to do a contra-tweak against this tweak, so within a while most decent webservers will be protected against this i'm afraid.

 

great responce my friend! But todays day and age is all about speed and how fast we can get there. If ever you see an article about how this affects any webpage (webservers) I will gladly post this in the beginning of my post before tweaking.

But...Until then this is the best and will still be used to speed up the page loading!

 

geestar20

This is great it has speeded up alot more, my connection was fast but now it is faster.
It's true you are the man! Thanks....

 

thank's geestar20 for on the tip on firefox, my baby is flying the speed of sound.. happy H....GHS

 

Hey, i found a couple other speed ups :

1. Open the Firefox "config" page: click into the Firefox address location bar, and type about:config, press Enter.

2. The "Config" file will appear in the Firefox browser as a page with hundreds of lines of code in it. Now, we start by enabling some advanced tabbed options:

3. Locate the line browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs . (tip: press "b" on your keyboard to quick scroll).

4. Double click on browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs . This will set its toggle to "true". Now your advanced and enhanced tabbing should be set.

5. Next: we will increase the "pipeline" RAM ability for Firefox to accomodate more packet transfer. In the same config document, scroll down to the line that says network.http.pipelining . Double click this line to set it to "true".

6. Lastly, we will increase the maximum pipeline requests to 100. Find the line that says network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Double click on it, and a dialog box will pop up. Change the setting from 4 to 100.

7. No need to save this file. Simply close and restart Firefox, and you should see an immediate 10% to 40% increase in web page transfer speed, and faster opening of your tabbed windows! Enjoy!


If you want try it let me know how it goes

 

Have you notice any increase with this new speed up -Alien13- ?... or is it the same?
