browser problem

[Rychster]

Hi,

I was wondering what causes IE to sometimes take longer to load certain
sites but when I click on the go button again immediately after I did it the
first time (while the page is loading) it goes right to it extremely fast.
I have cable and have checked the speed and download times to not be the
cause. It should be understood that it doesn't matter if I have had the
site trusted or not.

I didn't have a problem with this before. I freshly installed WinXP,
updated it, and have zone alarm for a firewall. ZA does not seem to be the
problem either. I have been messing around with Windows' services but have
used guidance from a trusted site of what to disable.

Any ideas?

Clean out all the Temporary Internet Files. regularly

Dump all of the files in your TEMP folder. regularly

Run a defrag on your hard drive to get all the files back
in order

Keep up with your Anti-Virus updates. at least every week

Back up your DATA. You can replace programs
but your DATA means hours of work for you to input all
the old information.

Me seems to be stuck on his responses. Their are a ton of
factors that can cause slow page loading. Most of them are
not your fault and have nothing to do with you. There is
one feature in IE that can cause extreme slowdown. IE is
set to check for scheduled tasks on remote computers and
that may be your problem. The simple elimination of a
registry key will help. go>start\run and type in regedit
and hit ok or enter on your keyboard and clicking the +
signs follow this route.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace and then locate this
key>D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF right click on it
and then click delete. If this doesn't seem to help then
remember that you don't go directly to a site. You get
there through many many servers and if even one of them is
experiencing a problem then things get slow. Keep smiling.

Since you don't give examples (what sites?), I can't answer you
specifically, but perhaps the sites in question are busy. Speed on the
Internet is affected by how many requests for pages a server is
getting, general traffic, etc. So let's say it's Sat. night and you're
trying to get on a gaming page - tons of people are home and trying to
get to the same page. The website's servers are really busy and you may
experience slowness. The reason you get the page quicker the second
time is because it is cached on your hard drive, so you're accessing it
locally, not from the Internet.

HTH,

Malke

This is true for all of us when trying to access web pages. Further, I have
experienced the symptom described by the OP on a sporadic basis. It is as if
the search engine gets "lost" in a logical dead end, and clicking "Go" again
straightens it out. This has always appeared to me to be independent of my
software, and just a fluke of the Web that occasionally wastes 9 seconds of
my time.

This may be a repeat post (not sure why my previous hasn't posted yet) but I
wanted to thank you all for responding.

I tried what you suggested. We'll see. I think it was the internet traffic
last night. My upload was around 50 kbps and now it's 120 kbps. The
bandwidth is now over 730 which is the norm. Last night it was 650.
