Issues which affect connectivity when browsing online

When we surf the internet it is possible that we have connection problems, that is why it is important that we identify the problem and we can provide a solution.

Slow connection speeds:
Sometimes we may find that our internet connection has slowed down and we should know how to deal with this situation. There are methods that can be applied in our computer so that the speed improves. We can modify the size of the browser cache, increasing this memory the browser will have the ability to store more websites on disk and therefore not use the bandwidth to download a website. If our purpose is to search for information quickly we can deactivate the loading of images. By disabling the loading of the image, only the text will be displayed, which means that the browser will load the websites faster.

Without connection:
Sometimes we may not have Internet connection and work from home or we have to perform important tasks that is why we must identify this problem, so the first thing we should do is check that the ethernet cable is well connected to the router or that the wifi is working correctly and has a signal. Normally the router shows through small lights the status of the connection, we must identify the internet connection light, if it is not turned off or shows a negative color like orange or red, that’s mean we may have a connection problem and we should restart the router, if we observe that everything is fine we should check our connection configuration to the proxy server is correct, if we use any, we can also check the network configuration in the operating system, it should be noted that many operating systems already incorporate workflows to solve connection problems.

Use of disk space:
Sometimes the performance of a computer and the browser is related to the amount of space available on the hard disk and this can affect the operation of the operating system making it slow and therefore affecting the browser. We can solve this problem by freeing up space used by the Temp folder that stores the temporary internet files or cache. It is also advisable to use a disk defragmenter to increase the disk access speed and increase the amount of usable space by reordering the files so that their pieces occupy a contiguous space.

Bad representation:
When we use a web browser it is possible that we can see a distorted web page and this is due to the fact that the browser is incorrectly processing the coding of the programming language CSS, HTML and JavaScript which are the languages ​​that are executed on the client side, to identify if it is our browser we can use another browser and visit the same website, thus ruling out the possibility that the web we request is corrupt. If problem comes from our browser you can uninstall and install a newer version of this.

Authentication problems:
Since every day we have to remember more user names and passwords for each site we visit, browsers have the ability to store authentication information. This information is used to log in to social networks and websites of interest and there is a risk that someone who accesses our computer and can log in to our account may change credentials and deny us future access, that is why browsers have an option to configure a master key for all sites.
