How to make your Internet connection run faster

Your Internet connection can be affected or down due to many reasons.

If you eliminate all these factors from your computer the Internet speed certainly can be faster. Also make sure and differentiate that you are just encountering the slow internet speed issue not the whole slow computer problem.

Some of the important factors about the slow internet speed are mentioned below.

Remove Internet cookies, temporary files

Over time huge temporary data, cookies and other temporary stuff get accumulates in the browser and in your computer, which may affect the Internet connection speed very often. Remove all such temporary stuff from your computer and make your computer and browser burden free. You may also use a good and reliable computer cleaner program to remove this temporary stuff.

Reset your browser

In all the Internet browsers there is an option which can reset your browser. Very often it is inside Internet option and under advance settings. Just click the reset button and reboot the browser. This will help you to speed up the connection speed.

Restore factory default settings

Just like the rest option every browser has an another option called Restore Factory Default setting, this option can reset all the browser settings similar to the original one where you started using it. This also can help you to speed up the speed.

Change or reinstall your Internet browser

If you are still facing the slow Internet connection speed you can try reinstalling the browser and if this does not help to speed up the speed you can remove and reinstall the browser as well.

Check your connection speed

Verify if you are getting the speed what has been given by your ISP. Suppose the ISP has promised for 1mbps download speed but you are just receiving 256kbps speed this means something might be wrong from the ISP’s end.

Run antivirus and antimalware programs

A computer virus, spyware and various other infectious items can block the internet speed to the maximum level. A virus not only can slow down your Internet connection speed but also can create the slow computer issue in your system.

An updated antivirus program is the best solution to eliminate all kinds of viruses and other malwares from your computer.

Check your firewall status

A firewall may also block your internet connection speed to a great extent. Firewall such as zone alarm is very powerful and can stop all the incoming speed and traffic towards your computer. You may also encounter a slow computer and performance related issue if firewall like zone alarm is set at maximum security level. Verify the settings of the firewall program in the computer and lower it down if this helps or not.

Contact your ISP

In the end if after doing all the above mentioned steps it does not speed up your Internet connection speed you should first contact your ISP about the issue.

You may also get a live support help for any computer related issue such as slow computer, computer freezing, BSOD, any system related error and many more.
