Firefox and IE7 Speed Tweaks

Let’s tweak Firefox first…

On the Firefox Address bar: type about:config
this is very easy takes about 5 minutes

Search for these values :

“network.http.pipelining” — set the value to true
“network.http.proxy.pipelining” – set the value to true
“network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” – set the value to 8
“plugin.expose_full_path” – set the value to true
“nglayout.initialpaint.delay” — set the value to 0
“network.http.max-connections” — set the value to 48
“network.http.max-connections-per-server” — set the value to 16
“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy” — set the value to 16
“network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server” — set the value to 8
“browser.cache.memory.capacity” — set the value to 65536

Restart Firefox, and its done.

Next stop : Speeding up Internet Explorer 7

I rarely use IE7… but oh well since were talking about speeding both browser I’ll just have to make an exception… for the sake of tweaking and optimizing galore…

Prepare to fire up your Registry Editor.

Click Start -> run type ‘regedit’ or Windows key + R then type ‘regedit’

Speed up IE7 page loading especially on multiple tabs and look for this key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
“MaxConnectionsPerServer”= Changed it to dword:00000010
“MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server”=Changed it to dword:0000010

Exit ‘regedit’… no need to restart just Log off then login again… now prepare to enjoy fast browser with little effort on your part. hehehe!!!!and without using third party softwares…
