 |
|
|

Here is how you can speed up firefox (even though it is already fast and better the IE).
1.Type about:config into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set network.http.pipelining to true
Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true
Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0 (zero). This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
If your using broadband you will load pages much faster. You have to restart your browser for this to take effect. Hope it helps and enjoy! |

I normally put quotes when I copy and paste from a site. I think we have all
seen that site before. I already have FF configured. |

Hey np, I just saw this on some site and thought it was quite interesting (not a popular site so Hookerella can keep your mouth shut). Sence im already quite fast it only made a little difference but for others hopfully it works better. |

My friends have seen it before. They had FF already configured. Anyways, it's always nice to give the credit to the people you got the information from.
Please be sure to post your sources. Thanks. |

There should have been no difference at all, because fasterfox sets all of those settings. |

What about "network.http.max-connections" and "network.http.max-connections-per-server"? |

You change them, and me and every other webmaster will want to hunt you down and kill you. Pipelining makes a bunch of requests but in only one process. A bunch of connections makes a bunch of apache processes, eats globs of RAM, and slows down the whole system, both resources of processor/ram and bandwidth.
So in other words, fuck you if you change them. |

Indeed, it will. As MGB said, it makes a bunch of request s at one time. The server sends all those requests back really fast at once and it's a pain in the ass to server owners. It's kinda like speedhackers in continuum, they send packets faster than the server knows they are supose to and it has to kick them. Maybe MGB can make a max packet request per milliseconds  |

If you still wanna make your net faster, delete these registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet001\Services\Ntfs
That will delete the restrictions on internet speeds. You will definately notice a difference in your internet performance.
Sorry, I had to tell them about that hack MGB. Please don't be too mad at me. They want their net speed. Let them do what they want. If they wanna use my hack that's great. |

No, pipelining is fine. That makes a queue in one process of Apache, which it can handle fine. The non-pipelining one makes tons of connections, which forks tons of Apache processes, which uses system resources badly. Thus, doing everything in the original post is fine. network.http.max-connections-per-server is the bad one.
Hookerella79's suggestions will just break your networking settings, as he is a complete idiot that I will correct shortly. |

It dosn't hurt to fix the incorrect information and teach somebody what is really going on, that way you know they won't make the same mistake again (hopefully, unlike me). Pointing at and harrassing some one, just because they have something down wrong, is not going to fix the problem. |
