Browsers VERY slow to open
|
|
I updated to IE 8 some time ago and to begin with I found it very fast. But now I find it incredibly slow to open. Just now when I opened IE to come here and it took over a minute, I get a blank page while it looks for the webpage.
Firefox has always been slower to open so I tend to use IE. Firefox takes 40 seconds before the blank page appears but then a very short time to find the webpage.
Are there any settings I can look at to see why this is happening please?

Do you have Spybot-S&D installed?

Oh, that's a shame, but it could be a similar problem - in IE8, click on Tools > Internet Options > Security > Restricted Sites > Sites. How many URLs are there in the Websites list? If the answer is "a lot", that could be the cause of the problem.

OK thanks, I will check that out, otherwise I might just switch to Firefox permanently.

Hi my name’s Feran and I am working with the Internet Explorer Outreach Team to help provide assistance to folks about their Internet Explorer.
If you’re having issues with your Internet running slow in IE8 you may be running too many add-ons. In IE go to ‘tools’ and ‘manage add-ons’ then disable/enable. Disabling any unnecessary add-ons may help you Internet run/load faster. Try disabling add-ons with more than a .2 sec load time (i.e. toolbars etc).
Hope this helps,
Feran
