Browser takes too long to load pages

PC World, one of the world’s leading technology publications, recently took a more in-depth look at the top 5 web browsers for computers: Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer. To choose the best web browser of 2015, they compared such important factors as ease of use, efficiency and speed. For their “real-world” browser speed test PC World editors picked a selection of 30 different websites, such as Amazon or CNN. To find the fastest browser, they opened these pages in new tabs one after another – just like we naturally do when we surf – and checked how long it takes different browsers to load the pages. So, who won?According to this test, it was Opera that performed as the fastest browser. During the experiment, Opera 31 with no Flash loaded pages in just 1.64 sec. With a Flash plug-in, it required only 2.21 sec to open a page. It’s faster than Google Chrome 44 (1.8 sec and 2.33 sec, respectively), and much faster than Firefox 39 (2.6 sec. and 5.59 sec).1.64 sec! That’s pretty quick! Speed is one of our top priorities, and we constantly add improvements to make your surfing experience in Opera a breeze.Looking for the fastest browser?

That it takes a long time to start up, and often lags while running. But the app should slim down to fighting weight by the time it hits the Android Market. The draw is the promise of a mobile browser that will offer a reasonable amount of the look-and-feel and functionality of Mozilla’s popular Firefox browser. Fennec has hundreds of available add-ons ported over from Firefox. Fennec will sync your bookmarks, history, tabs, and passwords to the ones you use in Firefox at home. But Fennec’s syncing capabilties are what make it special. A terrific feature called Firefox Sync lets you share the same bookmarks, browsing history, tabs, and passwords with the Firefox browser you use on your desktop, after you’ve installed the Firefox Sync add-on to Firefox. Fennec is a mobile browser with a very good pedigree, but right now it’s still a work in progress–in alpha, as noted–and isn’t even available in the Android Market. However, you can download Fennec Alpha and try it out on your mobile device if you wish. That is, unless your Android phone comes from AT&T, which has placed an annoying ban on third-party apps. Speed Tests Of course, look-and-feel and features aren’t everything–good old speed counts as well. To find out which browsers walk the walk on speed, we compared page-load speeds of Opera Mini, Skyfire, Dolphin HD, and Fennec, and contrasted those speeds with those of the stock Android 2.1 and 2.2 browsers. We tested all browsers on a Droid X phone, except for Fennec; the browser worked only on the HTC EVO 4G. We chose our test Web pages for their diversity of content. ThrasherMagazine.com is extremely media-heavy, with a mix of video formats. Wikipedia is mostly text-based. PCWorld.com and NYTimes.com contain a mix of text, images, and ads. Amazon.com contains text, small images, and e-commerce elements. In all cases we tested the desktop versions of the sites, eschewing the stripped-down mobile versions. For each browser we loaded up all five pages, measured the load times of each, and then averaged the five load times. We did this first for live pages (pulling them down from the Web, not from a cache in the browser), then for the cached (or saved) versions of the pages. Our results are contained in the chart below. Speed Results: Live Pages When loading live pages from the Internet, Skyfire 2.0 had the fastest average speed of all the third-party browsers in our test, at 8 seconds. Opera Mini showed that its method of streamlining Web pages (discussed above) is effective; it loaded our five Web pages in 11.4 seconds on average. Dolphin HD, despite its impressive feature offering, loaded live pages significantly more slowly than its fully released third-party peers, with an average speed of 18 seconds. Fennec, the alpha browser, was significantly slower than the others, with an average speed of 23.8 seconds. Also, Android 2.2’s browser enhancements appear to have improved live page loads considerably. The 2.2 browser loaded our live pages

And i have to close and open again for the opera to reappear pandajoueur last edited by I Clearly experienced some lag on this browser, like I mean to be a "gaming" browser but it not seems to be very optimized with the lastest updates. When I go on Youtube, my browser become so laggy and my extensions stopped working (Adblock for Youtube). elric last edited by Hi,Since few days i feel like the pages are opening slower than they used to, i

Synthetic and real user monitoring (RUM).What makes LCP slower?Common issues that can hurt LCP:LCP resource is not discoverable by the browser in the initial HTML document, e.g. if the LCP element is dynamically added to the page via JavaScript.Slow or blocking scripts and stylesheets that load at the beginning of the page's rendering path can delay when images start to render.Unoptimized images with excessive load times. LCP includes the entire time it takes for the image to finish rendering. If your image starts to render at the 1-second mark but takes 4 seconds to fully render, then your LCP time is 5 seconds.How to investigate LCP issuesTo improve LCP time, you need to first understand the critical rendering path for your pages, and then identify the issues that are delaying your largest paint element. Synthetic monitoring can help identify which of the issues described above is the culprit.For example, this synthetic test result for the Amazon home page shows that the LCP time is 3.63 seconds – in other words, outside Google's threshold of 2.5 seconds. You can also see that the LCP resource is actually a collection of images, not a single image:The high-level waterfall chart for this page shows that the LCP event fires after many other key metrics, including Start Render:Expanding the waterfall chart reveals a few things:1. The HTML document has a Long Tasks time of 382 milliseconds. If you look closely below, you can see that it doesn't fully parse until 3.6 seconds. The red bars indicate all the Long Tasks for this resource.2. There are 289 resources that are rendered before the LCP event, the bulk of which are images.3. Some or all of these images have been served in JavaScript bundles that take an excessive amount of time to execute. The green and red bars in the waterfall show when the browser is working to execute the JS, and the red bars indicate Long Tasks. You can see below how much JS execution takes place before LCP:4. Many of the images in those JS bundles are outside the viewport. This means they could have been deferred/lazy-loaded.How to improve LCPRequest key hero image earlyUse srcset and efficient modern image formatsUse compressionLazy-load offscreen imagesSet height and width dimensions for imagesUse CSS aspect-ratio or aspect-ratio boxesAvoid images that cause network congestion with critical CSS and JSEliminate/reduce render-blocking resourcesMore: Optimize Largest Contentful PaintWeb Vitals badges on performance

This article may be outdatedThis article references the legacy version of GTmetrix.Your page load speed depends on more than just PageSpeed and YSlow scores.OverviewYou might be confused as to why you might have a high PageSpeed/YSlow score, but a slow loading site. The performance of a website is determined by many factors; we outlined a few of them on our “Why is my page slow?” page. PageSpeed and YSlow focus on the front-end performance of your website – including elements that are largely in your control, like images and general site structure.PageSpeed and YSlow scores tell you how well your front-end is optimized for loading time, and while important, they are but one half of the determining factor.How does your front-end score?What is the Front-end?Your front-end is defined as your page and all its resources, as rendered by a browser. This includes things like:HTMLCSSJavaScriptMedia (images, video, etc)Good PageSpeed/YSlow scores help the browser render elements faster.These are things a browser uses to construct and render a page. GTmetrix analyzes your site to see if your website’s front-end is following best practices – You get PageSpeed/YSlow grades based on your page’s adherence to the rulesets.A good PageSpeed/YSlow score means that your page is optimized for the browser to render as fast as possible.The Other Half: The Back-endHaving an optimized front end for the browser to render is great. It’s typical for slow pages to improve in speed after deferring JavaScript or optimizing images. However, your optimized page still needs to get built and served, and if it takes a long time to do it – your site will still load slowly.How the front-end gets built and served depends on your website’s back-end – the server, hosting, and back-end code/database.The back-end needs to generate the page first before sending it to the browser.We go further into this in our Why is my page slow article. In summary, the back-end side is just as critical when you are looking at your page’s loading speed.Simple static HTML pages can still load slowly on bad backend code or a poorly configured server, so it’s important to take a look at the big picture when considering your website’s performance.So what exactly is going on?An optimized front-end and back-end yield fast performing websites. Any inefficiencies on either end will result in a slow loading site.Performance optimization requires a multi-sided approach.PageSpeed and YSlow give you an indication of whether
