Slow Browsing.

[lookingforold]

After browsing and the page pops up, it can take about ten seconds before I can start to scroll the page. This has only just started to happen. Any ideas why this mat be happening.  Windows 7; IE 9.(64 bit). When I open this site, I can scroll the page at once. Might it be some 'security' checking all the 'addresses' on offer before it lets me scroll. It's a bit of a P I T A!  Pete.

Try clearing IE9's cache.

I had a similar issue on my laptop last night but I was using Google Chrome as my browser.  Will see if it's any better this evening when I get home.

My laptop is always like this at the weekend, most times I just give up and wait until Monday.

Thanks 'Nick29'.  Done that but made no difference (except I've had to re-input all my passwords..ouch!) I think it might be a filter with one of the Security Sites, filtering all the listings before I can select one. Thanks for your reply.  Pete.

As likely as not, a slowdown is being caused by an addon within IE.
From the menu, select Tools, Manage Addons.  There will be a list of stuff that has been added to IE, not always with your consent.  Any on the list that you don't use should be deleted or disabled.  This won't affect the behaviour of IE other than stopping it slowing down.

The reason for slowdowns at the weekend is probably one addon trying to update itself.  Particular culprits for this are Java and Flash plugins.

Also delete all toolbars, I haven't found one yet that is worth a candle.  They ALL slow down your browsing.

Chrome and Firefox suffer much less than IE but they do suffer.  It is always worth mucking out your browser addons as part of regular maintenance.

Very interesting topic. I have done the above and I wonder if I can ask a question (hope you dont mind lookingforold).  How do you know what the different add ons listed are? Under the sub heading of Toolbars and Extensions I have a number of items.  2 of the most recent are:-
1. Under heading of Adobe Systems Inc. Shockwavee flash object. file date 22.9.12
2. under Symantec corp. Norton toolbar 26.9.12
How does one know what is safe to disable and what isn't?
