| The steps below are relatively easy to overcome slow when browsing |
Browsing is an activity that is quite fun in doing many things in cyberspace. Starting from download movies, study, find information, watch Dilan 1990, play online gamesall can be done.
But what happens when we are having fun surfing, for some reason the OS suddenly turns on PC / Laptop becomes slow and slow when used to browse the internet?
Of course this is very annoying for most computer users in all corners of the earth.
So because of that, maybe some of you will immediately find out about how to deal with a PC / Laptop that suddenly slows down when using the internet using a browser.
The cause of the laptop becomes slow when browsing
| Causes of slow laptops when browsing and surfing the internet |
Before that, it’s good if you know in advance some of the causes that allow slowness when the laptop is being used to browse or surf the internet.
I have mentioned the reasons one by one below.
The first is…
1. Too many Add-Ons installed
The first cause is that there are too many plugins or add-ons installed on the browser you are using.
Some internet browsers that provide Add-Ons features, for example, are Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and other small browsers. (not famous)
There are times when this Plugin / Add-Ons is very helpful in facilitating the experience of using the browser to the fullest. But behind it all, of course it will also bring side effects.
What are the side effects?
The browser you use will gain weight, which will eventually make your PC / laptop slower and slower when using the internet.
2. Too many applications in the background
It’s almost like too many Add-Ons installed on the browser.
The difference now refers to the Windows OS which is commonly used as the operating system.
The more applications that are active in the background, the heavier the process that must be run by the Windows OS which acts as the PARENT software.
3. Too many unimportant services are active
Do you know what services are?
Services are services (small programs) available on Windows OS as a complement to the functions of related software. For example, like Windows Update, Windows Search, Windows Firewall, Print Spooler, etc.
All of these programs / services are very helpful and useful, but of course it will make the Windows OS worse if too many are active.
Especially if the PC / Laptop device used has specifications that are relatively low and mediocre.
4. There are too many junk files in the browser
This one can also be the cause of slow browser when in use.
Usually there will be lots of history files that have been used and stored, then accumulate more and more and keep growing.
This situation will exacerbate the process of the browser in carrying out commands from browser users.
5. State of the problematic hard drive
It could be that the hard drive you are using is the problem, so that it has an impact on the slowness of all processes on the Windows OS.
6. Too much multitasking
When you turn on the computer, there are too many applications that are minimized on your PC / Laptop, which in turn makes the RAM space of the computer dwindling.

After knowing some of the causes that allow the laptop to slow down when browsing, I will now proceed with an easy way to overcome this slow browsing condition.
The method is quite simple, the first is…
1. Reduce unnecessary applications
Of course, all you have to do is reduce some of the unnecessary applications that are installed on the Windows OS that you are using.
You don’t need all of them, just a few that you think are rarely used or even never used at all.
2. Clear browser data/cache
Try to delete data / cache on the browser you are using. Mozilla Firefox with Chrome is a bit different, but I’m sure you can do it yourself.
Settings -> Clear history / cache
3. Reduce the installed Add-Ons
It’s better to just reduce some Add-Ons that are rarely used in browsers.
Or if you don’t want to delete it, an alternative option is to disable some unnecessary plugins.
4. Try defragmenting the hard drive
There are times when the hard drive that we use needs to be defragmented at a certain time. This only applies if the OS you are using is still Windows 7.
For those who have Windows 8 and 10, the defrag process has been done automatically.
5. Do a scan using an antivirus
The next way to get rid of the slow / slow feeling in the browser is by scanning the Windows OS.
It is possible that the Windows OS that you are using has been infected with a virus that is deliberately active so that it eventually disrupts the performance process of the Windows OS.
Try to do a thorough scanning of partition C. D, E, and so on until you are sure that all viruses have been removed.
How to get rid of viruses, I have written in an article entitled: Causes and SOLUTIONS in dealing with laptops that have severe viruses.
6. Reduce active applications in the background
Eliminate some applications running in the background on Windows OS immediately. The less, the lighter the task that must be carried out by the Operating System.
7. Reduce services that are not important
Then also reduce some Windows OS services that are not so important.
For example, if you rarely using a printer, the service named “Print Spooler” can you disable
As additional info, I have written several Windows services that are safe to stop in another article entitled: 21 Windows OS Services that are safe to stop
8. Reduce the amount of multi-tasking
When using a Windows OS, try to do a little multi-tasking.
What is multitasking?
Multitasking is the activity of opening a large number of application programs simultaneously. (5 – etc., depending)
Conclusion…
So the conclusion is, pay close attention to the state of your Windows OS and internet browser.
Notes…
Remember, the points I wrote above are my own personal opinion. So it’s only natural if there are things that don’t suit/agree with those of you who are reading this article.
