Websites slow to load in Firefox
Ive been running linux Mint 17.3 on a Dell 5010
(triple booted with Win7 and Ubuntu W ) And was hoping web browsing would be faster than using bloated Windows, it is a bit faster but many pages take a long time to load , i was wondering where the bottleneck could be and how i can improve load times. I usually stick with FF or Chrome browser BTW im total noob but trying to become "command line lterate" so please keep it simple |
Your internet service?

it can have dozens of reasons, some of which are:

Usually DNS.
Now, what you do about this depends on how seriously you want to take to take it, but your choices include just doing benchmarking on various upstream providers (and selecting a faster one), or locally running a DNS cache (or both). This can be a nice little project, involving learning a bit more about how networking really works, so do get back and say how you want to move forward. |
^ right, i forgot about that.
fwiw, i've been using opennic for a long while now and i appreciate to have one less point of data mining on my system. |
