Talk with you about why the browser is slow, what could be the reason? How to solve the impending problem? All this will be discussed now. Let's look at some of the most popular problems that users face.
No place
So, the first reason Yandex.Browser (or any other) slows down at you may be the banal lack of free space on the system disk. It's about the one on which your operating system is installed.
The thing is that while working on a computer, temporary files are created on the hard disk . Not all of them are erased after a reboot. So, the space is gradually filled with such files. At one point, your browser will start to slow down - it simply has nowhere to download its temporary data.
Especially often this problem is faced by users who have a small hard drive, but they really like to watch movies on the Internet. Each download is a certain amount of occupied gigabytes. Does the browser slow down? What to do? It is enough to clean the operating system and computer registry from the "junk". Cleaner will help you with this. Just one click on the button - and the job is done. Now check: Yandex.Browser (or any other) still slows down? Yes? Then let's look for a reason elsewhere.
Many programs
So, there is another scenario. Does the Opera browser slow down or some other? Then think about how long you've been cleaning up your operating system. The thing is that many unnecessary programs also leave their mark on the work of the "door" to the World Wide Web.
This is especially true for those users who are used to using many utilities to interact with the Internet. In order to restore the stable operation of the browser, you will need to put the computer in order - remove all unnecessary and old programs, as well as limit their simultaneous use. After you notice how the problem goes away by itself. It does not hurt to do disk defragmentation. This process should be repeated once a month or two. True, not everything is always so simple. There are also a number of problems that may cause browser malfunctions. Let's get to know them.
Many additions
Well, another fairly common problem of most modern users is the huge capabilities of browsers. That is why some of them begin to work slowly. Do you have the Mazila browser slowing down (Chrome and so on)? Then see how many different plugins, extensions, and add-ons you have installed. Sometimes this is precisely the reason for this behavior.
In this situation, you have two options. Which is better - choose for yourself. The first option is to remove all plugins that can only interfere with the stable operation of the program. Leave only the most important, for example, Flash Player. Erase the rest.
The second option is to temporarily disable extensions, plugins and add-ons in browsers. So, when you need them, you can always turn them on again. But up to this point, do not resort to the use of such plug-ins and extensions. Quite often, users are inclined to this step, especially if they have set themselves something very “interesting”. After disabling some add-ons, the work stabilizes.
Hijacker
Have you done all the previous steps, but the browser is slow? What to do - do not know? Then try to see if you have installed the so-called browser hijacker. This is a spyware program that can steal entered usernames and passwords, and it also contributes to the appearance of "brakes" when working on the Internet.
Hijackers are different. As a rule, they are detected by the presence of a new plug-in in add-ons that you did not install. Plus, when working on the World Wide Web, in most cases, you will begin to display banner ads. If the Mazil, Chrome, Yandex, and other Internet surfing programs slows down, then the first thing to do is remove the unfamiliar plugin. This should help you for a while.
In addition, if you do not have any important data in the browser, you can simply reinstall it. The newly downloaded version, updated, "clean" - this is the real guarantee of success. Not the best option, but still it's better than reinstalling the operating system.
Glitches in the OS
Why does the browser slow down when you don’t have any extra plugins and hijackers, and everything is in order with the hard disk space? The thing is that sometimes such behavior can be caused by various crashes in the operating system.
There can be many reasons here - both a critical error and a minor malfunction. A virus or a mere coincidence - anyway. Nevertheless, if this behavior is repeated systematically, try to do the so-called rollback of the system at the moment when everything worked well.
Does the Chrome browser slow down? The rest too? Then go to the "Start", in the "Accessories" and find the recovery tool there. It will help you roll back the system to the right amount of time. True, you should have enabled the automatic creation of rollback points. Otherwise, you can return the system to the moment when it was just installed. Not the best option, but sometimes it works.
As a rule, such an action does not affect personal data and programs. Only system settings. However, sometimes there are malfunctions in the work of those applications that were not installed in the period of time when the rollback was made.
Trojans
If your browsers are very slow, and that’s all, then this may mean that you have serious viruses in your operating system. They are called trojans. This is a type of computer infection that can be very difficult to drive out. Let’s see what needs to be done to stabilize the computer and browser.
So, if you have suspicions that the operating system has picked up a variety of trojans and viruses, then the first thing you will have to scan for them using a good antivirus program. Here is Dr. Web True, some prefer Nod32. In any case, update the virus database, and then start scanning. Here you have to run a deep check. It can take a lot of time (several hours). After delivering the results, cure everything that was discovered. What does not respond to treatment - delete. Now you know why the browser slows down and how to deal with it. However, it is not so often that a regular antivirus scan gives a good result. Thus, each time we have to supplement this step with something to stabilize the computer and return it to its previous course. Let's see what can help you.
Special software
If the answer to the question of why the browser slows down is the presence of viruses, then you can supplement the work of the antivirus program with special anti-spyware utilities. They help to detect all hidden infection in the operating system, as well as get rid of it once and for all.
Spy Hunter is perfect for this purpose . This is an anti-spyware program that scans your computer very quickly and thoroughly cleans it without damaging files and applications. Very convenient and easy to use. Scanning, as a rule, takes literally several minutes. After that, it remains to click on the button responsible for deleting malicious files - the system will be cleaned. Restart your computer and try starting the browser. Did it work well? Then you can rejoice. Not? Well, there is a way out in this situation. Especially if, after manipulating the antivirus, you started to pop up windows with errors and warnings.
Reinstall
But there are exceptional cases. If the question is still not resolved - why does the browser slow down - then you have a rather interesting choice. True, it is better to use it when it’s already impossible to work on the Internet. Before that, you should "pull the strap."
It is a complete reinstallation of the operating system. This is the most effective and reliable option, but only when there are already no important files on the computer, and also quite a few viruses and trojans are in the OS. Then, indeed, it is easier to re-install everything, configure it and be more careful in the future.
As a rule, system administrators are involved in reinstalling the operating system. True, now any user who has an installation disk is able to cope with this task. It is not as difficult as it seems. The main thing is to follow the instructions on the screen and format the hard disk before starting the installation process.
Many downloads
Well, now let's look with you at a more pleasant moment, which may raise the question: "Why does the browser slow down?" The thing is that sometimes uploading files to your system via the Internet can properly slow down the computer and its individual programs. So check to see if anything is downloading from you.
Pay special attention to torrents. They usually take all the speed for themselves. This prevents browsers from functioning normally. Complete all downloads or pause them - the Internet speed will be redistributed again and all Internet applications will work at full capacity.
