Internet Explorer slow responsiveness has got to be one of the most annoying problems of the 21st century. It is a problem that afflicts everyone at one time or another: Even if you are on a high-speed Internet connection, on a state-of-the-art computer with plenty of processing power, and you aren't running any other programs that could be hogging up your system's resources, and you have rebooted your computer a couple of times, your computer is exhibiting Internet Explorer slow performance. It can seem so slow, sometimes, that even an old 56K dial-up modem line would seem faster!
So what seems to be the problem? You've presumably cleared your PC of viruses and spyware. Your PC is even protected by a firewall. So what is going on?
The most likely culprit is your Windows registry.
The registry is the master database that the Windows operating system uses to store information about every piece hardware or software that has ever been associated with your system. Over time, the registry can grow to become extremely large in size, on the order of tens of even hundreds of megabytes. Being a database, the registry is also subject to referential integrity errors in the form of outdated or obsolete data.
A bloated database full of errors is the perfect recipe for Internet Explorer to slow down. All applications, including your web browser, are constantly reading from or writing to the registry. If the registry is unoptimized, your applications can experience errors, slow-downs, timeouts, and can even cause them to hang or crash.
Unfortunately, Windows does not ship with a registry optimization utility. Fortunately, there are third-party utilities that can scan your registry for errors, fix those errors, and optimize the registry for you.
Internet Explorer slow response problems will be a thing of the past.
Give your PC a free registry scan and you'll be reaping the benefits of a much more stable, more highly optimized, more robust, and much faster operating system!
