See How Easily You Can Improve Your Internet Browsing Speeds
Even if you have ultra speed broadband connection, you may find it difficult to access some web sites. Most of the time, your ISP’s (Internet Service Provider) DNS (Domain Name System) will be the problem. Otherwise your browser will be the culprit. Here is the 3 simple steps by which you can improve your browsing speeds.
Step 1 – Use Firefox
IE sucks. Not matter what Microsoft say about Internet Explorer, it sucks in functionality. I recommend you to use Firefox, the free, powerful browser from Mozilla.org. It supports many extensions (Add-ons) that will make your life easier.
Various tests have shown that FireFox 2 is better than IE7. In another test, it has been discovered that Firefox2 takes very less memory compared to IE7. Altogether it would be a wise choice moving to Firefox2. 
Step 2 – Use Adblock Plus
Most of the websites contains some kind of ads. These ads usually takes a lot of time to load. By preventing their loading, you can improve your browsing speeds.
Adblock Plus is a Firefox extension that prevents the ads from loading. It uses a filter set ( you have to download this extension separately) to keep track of ad severs around the web. Just install these and you will see faster page loading.
Step 3 – Use OpenDNS
Slow browsing speeds are often happened due to slow DNS servers. DNS servers convert the domain names to IPs of the web hosting company, where the actual websites are hosted. Slow DNS means, it make take longer to get this data and thus slowing down browsing speeds. OpenDNS is the alternative solution to this problem. OpenDNS has their own DNS servers and it is faster than most local ISPs. Just add OpenDNS IPs in your internet settings and you are done. ( OpenDNS Configuring instructions here )
Bonus Tip – Block Images That are un-necessary
Most often images take huge bandwidth and slows down connection. By preventing images from loading, you can improve your browsing speeds. You can use Adblock plus to customize image loading.
See how easier it was!
