Now this is something a lot of you may already know about and use, but for those of you that don’t this provides a quick and easy way to speed up your browsing speeds for free. It makes multiple requests to the same server resulting in a faster browsing experience. What is it? Well, it’s a modification to the Firefox configuration.

Assuming you’re already using Firefox (If not, get it here — www.mozilla.com/firefox/) you should type about:config into the address bar. This will bring up the interface for viewing and setting a wide variety of configuration variables. You should change the entries listed below to the following values:

Alter ‘network.http.pipelining’ to ‘true’

Alter ‘network.http.proxy.pipelining’ to ‘true’

Alter ‘network.http.pipelining.maxrequests’ to ‘30′

Right-click anywhere and select New>Integer. Call it ‘nglayout.initialpaint.delay’ and set its value to ‘0′.

That’s it! Restart Firefox and you should immediately notice an improvement in browsing speeds! By Zlyzer
