How To Get a Faster Internet Speed – Firefox Browser Tweak – Reduces Page Loading Time

There are settings you can change that would increase the speed of your browser (yes, seriously!). It doesn’t actually change the speed of your internet connection, but you can configure it so that the browser renders a page before it is fully loaded. To do that, we need to enable pipelining.

Step 1. Load the Firefox Config Page

Load up the Firefox configuration page in your browser by typing about:config in the url path.

Step 2. Use Search Feature

At the top of the page, you’ll see a search feature. Use it, by typing in network.http, to find the pipelining options.

Step 3. Modifications

network.http.pipelining

Set this to true, to enable pipelining.

network.http.proxy.pipelining

Set this to true, to enable pipelining to the proxy server.

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Set this to 8, to have a maximum of 8 pipelining requests at once. Possible values are from 1 to 8.

And… that’s all folks! From my personal experience, I noticed a slight speed boost. Share your experiences!
