Sometimes browsing can be quite slow even if we have a fast internet connection so here’s a little tip to get your browser mega fast! To do this we need to do a little registry editing so follow this tip at your own risk. Be sure to make a backup of the registry before making any changes to the registry.
- Click Start | Run (Windows Vista users just click Start)
- Type regedit in the run box
(Windows Vista Users type regedit in the search box) - Click OK
(Windows Vista click on the regedit program link and then click Yes when asked “Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?) - From the left hand pane of the registry editor navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
- Check in the registry editors right-hand column for the following two lines values: MaxConnectionsPerServer MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
- If these values are present, right-click on the first value (MaxConnectionsPerServer), select Modify from the drop-down menu, click Decimal, and set the Value data field to 6. Repeat this process for the second value.
- If the values are not listed, right-click on a blank area of the registry editors’ right-hand pane then click New, and then click DWORD Value.
- Enter MaxConnectionsPerServer for the name of the new DWORD Value and press Enter. The new value should now appear in the registry editors’ right-hand pane.
- Right-click the on the new value and click Modify.
- As in step six, click Decimal and set the Value Data field to 6, then click OK.
- Repeat steps 7-10 using MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server as the new DWORD Value name (instead of MaxConnectionsPerServer).
- Close the registry editor and start up internet explorer and check out your browsers new found speed!
