Speed up your browser

[network.http.pipelining]

I just found out that you can speed up the loading of web pages quite a bit by changing some settings in Firefox.

To get to the configuration settings type about:config in the address bar, this will show you all the configuration variables. Type network in the filter field to show only a subset of the variables.

About halfway down, you will find the variable network.http.pipelining, change it to true by double clicking it. The next variable in the list is network.http.pipelining.maxrequests, you should change this to a higher value like 10.

Happy browsing!

Thanks, I changed that too, but can I see the difference do you have examples where this speed-up is magnificent?

I have not checked how much faster the page loading is, but it does feel like pages are loading faster. (could be all in the mind though... )

Ok now I understand how it works, I think I need a slower internet connection first or need to visit a website with a slower connection...

you could try fasterfox extension from mozilla.org not sure how much difference it made but give a nice how fast pages loads counter, so you can see how your config changes are working...
