From time to time you may experience a slow internet connection or so you may think but generally the reason for a 'bad' or 'slow' connection is often down to the computer itself and how and what it is running at the time.
Simple ways to improve slow Internet
Get the knowledge to tackle the straightforward fixes that can make a big difference by taking a look at our simple tips below.
Is your browser up-to-date?
This is the first thing you should make sure of, because it is the easiest to do.
From time to time your internet browser will have updates which will improve its performance, if you don’t have automatic updating turned on your browser can become out of date rather quickly. To solve this, all that is needed is to manually update the browser, after checking its actually out-of-date of course.
To check if you browser is in date simply go to either the help tab on the menu or the setting menu and find about (insert browsers name here) and this will bring up a box giving you the relevant information.
Ok so your browser is out-of-date, merely do a search on the net for your browsers name and the word update and it should give you a link to the related page where you can download the update. I have provided links below to the main 4 browsers used today.
Update your browser. Over time, Internet browsers get replaced with newer iterations and become obsolete. If you continue to use an old version of a browser, you'll eventually begin to notice that your Internet seems slower, since the old browser isn't equipped to handle new content. Solve the problem by updating to a current browser.
