Boost your browser speed

Here's something for people with broadband that will really speed the Firefox web-browser up (you can't do this with Internet Explorer!). I use a 2MB broadband connection and it has cut my page download time in half.

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.

HTTP Pipelining is easily configured in the browser by adjusting "network.http.pipelining..." settings. Pipelining works by sending requests simultaneously over a single connection - this avoids the delay incurred by the latency between you and the server.

A full set of instructions for configuring the Firefox Browser for HTTP pipelining can be found here, it takes 3 minutes to do and will save you hours of time and frustration waiting for a webpage to download.
