1. Use the right browser
One of the best browsers available on the Google Play Store is Google Chrome. It’s a robust offering with ability to sync across multiple devices giving you a seamless Internet experience. Down size is that it takes up so much space. So we recommend using the data saving Opera Mini browser which compresses videos, audios, photos and everything on the Internet to load pages faster and save a huge chunk of your data bundle. So when you experiencing a slow connection, use Opera Mini browser to speed up what you are doing.
2. Disable images in the browser
This is a trade off when connection gets slow. Give up images and load pages faster. High resolution images are added to content to give the reader context. But these images have to be first downloaded before the page loads. Slow Internet connections mean longer waiting time. So try keeping the browser in text only mode to speed up you’re connection. Not all browsers support this functionality but it can be found in settings for those browsers that have the feature. Once you enable text-only mode in your browser, images won’t load. This will increase network speeds to some extent.
