You may then want to consider playing around with different browsers to see which one works best on your computer. Generally, Google Chrome and FireFox are considered to be the fastest browsers.

Let Your Computer Cool Down

While sometimes your computer will slow down over time, you may also notice that your computer suddenly begins running really slowly. This can be a sign that your computer is overheating. Feel along your computer’s exterior to see if it is hotter than normal. Make sure that your computer has enough space around it for adequate airflow, and that it is not boxed in by any clutter. If your computer feels hot. Shutting it down for a few minutes and letting it cool off can help your computer run more efficiently.

Remove Junk From Your Computer
