How to find the plug-in that slows down the browser speed

 

The browser plug-in is very useful, but the plug-in will increase the memory usage of the browser, so that the browser can be opened more slowly, and usually it will reduce the speed of the browser. However, if you want to know what a plug-in is on your system, what should you do?

Each browser provides a way to view the memory usage, CPU usage, and startup latency of the plug-in. The specific information depends on your browser.

Firefox

It is not easy to check the memory usage of browser plug-ins in Firefox. You should use a plug-in to Display memory usage. Yes, it looks silly to install another plug-in to check the memory usage of the plug-in. However, you can delete or disable the plug-in after it is used up.

Install the about: addons-memory plug-in and open it in a tab. The installed plug-ins are displayed, sorted by memory usage. In this way, you will know how much memory is used by those plug-ins, and how much memory will be generated when these plug-ins are disabled. If you have installed a plug-in with Memory leakage, as the browser runs, it will occupy more and more memory-you can check this page later, check whether there are any plug-ins that occupy a lot of memory.

Chrome

Chrome is a multi-process browser, and many plug-ins have their own processes. So you can use Chrome's built-in task manager to view memory usage-and the current CPU usage. The task manager also displays the memory usage of installed Chrome Web applications, as well as the resource consumption of opened tabs and other background processes.

Click the Chrome menu button, click tools, and select Task Manager to open Chrome's task manager, or press Ctrl + Esc.

The task manager will give you an idea about how important a plug-in is ". However, note that only the plug-ins running in the background are displayed here. Plug-ins that inject code into the page may not appear here. These plug-ins may affect the page loading times.

IE

IE will not display the memory consumed by the plug-in, but will tell you the loading time of each plug-in. You can infer how much resources a plug-in consumes from the loading time-if the loading time is long, it is likely to occupy more memory, making the browser slower and more obvious.

Click the IE menu and select the management plug-in to view the loading time. The loading time of each plug-in is displayed in the loading time column. If you want to disable a plug-in, select it in the list, and click Disable.

IE also displays the "navigation time" of each plug-in, that is, the delay time caused by the plug-in when you enter or load a new page.

 

 

Use the Security Mode of the browser

In fact, it is not easy to judge the resources occupied by a browser plug-in. The above method will give you some information, but it is not enough to give you an overall impression.

Fortunately, you can find out how fast your browser runs without a plug-in. You can open your browser in safe mode so that no plug-ins are loaded. If your browser is much faster, you can see that a plug-in is dragging it down. Then you can disable the plug-ins one by one to see how quickly the Running Speed has improved.

Firefox

Click Firefox, point to help, and click restart in safe mode.

Chrome

Right-click the Chrome icon on the taskbar and select Properties. Add "-no-extensions" to the end of the target, and click "OK. Close all Chrome-related things. If there is Chrome in the system tray, close it too. Then, use the modified shortcut to open Chrome. If you want to disable the security mode, you just need to change the shortcut back and restart Chrome.

IE

On Win7, choose Start> All Programs> accessories> System Tools> Internet Explorer (no add-on ). On Win8, you must manually start IE -- press Win + R to open the run dialog box, then enter the following command and press Enter:
Iexplore.exe-extoff

Browser plug-ins are useful, but like other software, you should only use the plug-ins you need.

The less plug-ins installed, the less obvious the browser speed will be. On today's computers, using a few lightweight plug-ins does not have any noticeable performance changes, but if you have been installing plug-ins, you will find that the browser slows down.
