People like Google Chrome because of its intuitive user interface and its flexibility. However, it is a notorious browser and you may notice that Chrome becomes slow after prolonged use. Thankfully, there are some simple ways to improve Chrome's performance.
One of the first things to check when Chrome's performance is slow is the browser has been updated. Google regularly releases updates to introduce new features, fix errors and enhance security. Chrome will automatically update by default, but you should check because the outdated Chrome version can lead to slow performance and cause compatibility and security problems.
Follow the tab memory loading
Chrome suddenly really interested in using RAM (memory). Even if you only need a mouse through a tab, you can now see the amount of RAM that the tab is using. Knowing when a single tab uses more than 1GB of memory is quite helpful.
For a more detailed list, use Chrome Task Manager. Go Menu > More tools > Task Manager. You can also use shortcuts Shift + Esc On Windows or right -click on the blank on the tab bar and select Task Manager from the menu. From here, you can find any tab using too much memory and click the button End process To eliminate them.
If you do not want to see the level of memory use when a mouse through a tab, you can turn this feature by entering Settings > Appearance > Show Memory Usage on Tab Hover Preview Card.
Close all unused wide tabs and utilities
Many people are very bad in closing unused browser tabs at work. Each open tab consumes memory and resources, leading to slow performance. Similarly for the browser extension. Although they improve function, too many extensions can reduce the effectiveness of Chrome.
Tab management tips and extended utilities
- Review the tabs that are open regularly and close any tab you no longer need. You can also use the page mark to save important pages and access later.
- Chrome allows you to group tabs, which can help you arrange the working process without dozens of tabs that clutter the interface.
- Go to the Chrome menu in the upper right corner, mouse over Extensionsthen choose Manage Extensions. Turn off or delete any extended utility you do not often use.
You may also consider using lighter alternatives to have faster browsing experience.
Activate Memory Saver function
As a automatic assistant for Tab management, Chrome provides Memory Saver function to improve performance by reducing the use of memory of non -working tabs. When enabled, this feature automatically releases memory from the tabs you currently do not use, allowing your active tabs to run smoother.
How to activate Memory saver
- Open Chrome menu and select Settings.
- Roll down to find the part Performance.
- Turn on the option Memory Saver.
If placed into Balancedthis feature will cancel the tabs after an optimal time.
Configure Load settings in advance
Chrome uses a loading feature before predicting web browsing behavior and loading before the pages you can visit next. By optimizing the installation installation first, you can accelerate Chrome for a better browsing experience.
You should test load first to see which features that best suit you. Turning off this feature can sometimes improve performance, especially if your web browsing habit does not match the previous loading prediction.
Extended Preloading is one of the features that make you feel your browser much faster than reality. Chrome has a feature called extended preloading that can be enabled Settings> Performance> Speed.
When turned on, a series of larger websites and websites will be loaded first, even before you visit them. The previous loading process takes place in the background mode via the Google server, so the very small latency between the time you click on the link and the time the makeup is opened. However, because this requirement is being loaded first via Google server, you will have to trade your privacy. Google will use your cookies to find the websites you often visit and which websites should be loaded first in the background mode.
By default, Standard Preloading is turned on, this feature works with fewer websites. To completely turn off the loading feature completely, uncheck the moving button next to Preload Pages.
Get warning about performance incidents
The latest performance of Google Chrome will actively warn you when the browser tabs occupy too much memory. Suppose you are watching 4K video on YouTube, but the video is shocked even though you are using a strong internet connection. Google can determine whether the problem is due to overloading memory and may warn you which tabs are causing problems through the speed gauges beside the address bar. Just click the icon and click Fix Now To put those tabs into no work.
The tabs will still be in your tab bar and you can always click on them to load again. This feature can be enabled Settings > Performance > General > Performance Issue Alerts . .
Handling unwanted processes
Chrome is famous for using a significant amount of memory and CPU. This is usually due to unwanted processes running in the background, leading to slow performance. Checking and managing these processes regularly can significantly increase the speed of the browser.
Process management in Chrome
- Open Chrome menu and mouse over More tools.
- Select Task Manager To display all the active processes.
- Search for processes that are using too many CPUs or memory.
If you identify any unwanted or unnecessary process, choose them and click End process To close them.
Start again from the beginning
If you've tried all the previous methods and your Chrome browser is still slow, maybe it's time to implement more drastic measures – reset chrome. This operation will restore your browser to the original settings and delete all custom configurations that can cause problems. Remember that reset chrome will delete the pinsed tabs, boot page and other personalized settings. However, the sealed page and password will remain intact.
Chrome deserves to be the most popular browser, with more than 60% of the global market share. Like most of Google's life and productivity tools, many are Chrome's big fans, although it is not no fault and can consume a lot of CPUs.
Make sure to look at the list of these simple corrections whenever Chrome starts slowly, significantly improving your web browsing experience, improving productivity and making web browsing sessions more interesting. Each correction can be done from within Chrome and only takes a few seconds, capable of saving many hours in the long run.
