Seven steps to help Google Chrome speed up

 

Bkjia.com quick translation]Several months ago, I switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox because Internet Explorer started to become slow and bloated. After a few years, I discarded Firefox and changed it to Google Chrome. That's right, as you can guess, Firefox started to become slow and bloated.

One day, I suddenly realized that Google Chrome began to become slow and bloated. But because there was no new lite version browser available for me to use, so I decided to see if I could speed it up.

After completing these steps, the Google Chrome I installed significantly improved the speed. Hopefully, these steps can also help your browser speed up.

Note:These methods are also applicable to Mac and Windows (some are even applicable to Linux !)

#1: Update Chrome

If you have not disabled Google Chrome for a while, there may be updates waiting for you (you can identify whether there is a new version, so you can upgrade it to a later version of Chrome, because the hamburger menu will change from green to yellow, then it turns red, indicating how outdated your browser is ).

To force Chrome to check the latest version, enter chrome: // help and follow the prompts.

#2: disable unnecessary extensions

Enter chrome: // extensions in the address bar to disable unnecessary extensions. Do not check the box to disable the extension, or click the recycle bin to delete the extension.

#3: disable unnecessary plug-ins

Enter chrome: // plugins in the address bar to disable any unnecessary plug-ins. Click the link you want to disable.

#4: smoother scrolling

Enter chrome: // flags in the address bar and find Enable fast tab/windows close (Enable tab/window Quick close ). This option allows Chrome to close a window independent of any JavaScript code that may run, thus speeding up Chrome running. Click the relaunch now button at the bottom of the screen to make the settings take effect.

Note:This is a test function. Read the warning information at the top of the Chrome settings page. To restore any changes, Click Reset all to default (Reset all settings to default values.

#5: discard tabs

Enter chrome: // flags in the address bar and find Enable tab discarding (Enable tab discard ). If the Chrome speed slows down, this option allows the background tag to be discarded from the memory to speed up Chrome running. Click the relaunch now button at the bottom of the screen to make the settings take effect.

Note:This is a test function. Read the warning information at the top of the Chrome settings page. To restore any changes, Click Reset all to default (Reset all settings to default values.

#6: Clear cache content

If your disk space becomes insufficient and the cache content is cleared, Chrome may run faster.

Enter chrome: // settings/clearBrowserData in the address bar. I suggest selecting only the Cached images and files (Cached images and files) option.

To get the best results, you need to clear the content at the beginning.

#7: Check spyware and other junk content

Windows users can use Google's Software Removal Tool ). Scanning the system using tools like Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware is also a good idea.

Mac users can use Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware for Mac. Do not believe that Mac cannot have viruses or Malware. This may be the case a decade ago, but not now.
